The entryway to the WSOP. All dreams start here. Day 1D saw 2391 dreams start. That's how many players started today. The total number of entries across the 4 day 1's was 7319. Up a bit from last year, but not by much. It's enough for a nearly $9,000,000 first prize! |

This is the scene for, well, forever!! When play is on, this is what it looks like...... |

Every once in a while, things change dramtically, and it looks like this..... :) |

At the end of Level 1, things were looking scary. They looked even scarier at the end of Level 2 and worse yet end Level 3. The start of Level 4 saw an all-in with A-K called by a pair of 9's and the Ace hit on the flop. Hopes sprung up with the chip stack, which reached 27000 down from a low of 13150 at the start of the round. The level ended with $27250. While that should have been the end of day 1, there was still another hour to go - one half of level 5. It was a long one hour, but ended with $19300 in chips which means we'll be back on Saturday for Day 2! |

Saw a bunch of others, too, but the pictures just do not come out. No flash is allowed, which makes it tough. |
