The first day of the No-Limit Hold’em World Championship has just started play at Binion’s Horseshoe Casino. For a buyin of $10,000 you could have been sitting there with AA on the first hand. The tournament should last until Thursday or Friday when the champion will receive well over $2 million! Will there be another story like Chris Moneymaker. Will Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, Annie Duke, Doyle Brunson, or another pro go home with the coveted gold bracelet? It will be the largest field ever to play in the WSOP, which should make things very interesting.

I just got back from WSOP. Didn’t qualify, but boy is it an experience. We saw Annie Duke, Harrington, Fischman, Benveniti, Norm McDonald, Jesus, and Toby Maguire. It’s a must-see for any poker fan. They were expecting 1400 and got 2600!!!! First place gets paid something like $5.5M. Viva Las Vegas!
