Kido Pham (153,000), Ryan Young (152,560), Luke Staudenmaier (147,000), Nenad Medic (138,000), Devin Porter (137,675) and Greg Raymer (136,200) made up the rest of the star-studded top ten.
Mike Matusow (113,250), Billy Baxter (91,075), Phil Ivey (82,875) and Barry Greenstein (76,675) were among the other big names to make it through to day two with above-average chip stacks, while Doyle Brunson (59,975) also progressed in the tournament that bears his name.
Bill Edler, Jeff Madsen and Shannon Shorr were on the list of notables to go to the rail.
Hellmuth has never won a WPT title despite numerous attempts. His best finish to date is sixth at the 2008 LA Poker Classic.
