Currently, 44 players are registered including the likes of Rainer Kempe, Jack Salter, Dara O'Kearney, Patrick Leonard, Rui Ferreira, Chris Moorman, and Niklas Astedt. Many more recognizable names will surely join them over the next few hours.

The board gave "kle888" a pair but they were ousted as this wasn't good enough to beat Vieira's rockets.
Vieira became the first player to collect a bounty of $2,500, half of which goes straight to his GGPoker account and the other half increasing his personal bounty.
