The World Series of Poker is finally underway and at the first break on Day 1A, which basically means they’ve hit the end of the first level.
Among some of the notable names participating in the first day are Dan Harrington, Scotty Nguyen , Josh Arieh, Barry Greenstein, Jason Lester, Jason Alexander (actor), Ray Romano, Paul Wasicka, Freddy Deeb, and Tuan Lam, the 2007 runner up.
There’s plenty more, but those are just a handful. No word yet on the total number of entries, but of note is that at the break, Svetlana Gromenkova, a top femael player from Russia, is among the early chip leaders at about 51,000.
One of the most interesting things seen is Andrew Prock playing. Well, actually not playing anymore as he’s been eliminated already. But what makes it interesting is that Prock made the final table of the Limit Shoot Out Hold 'Em Even (event 53) that finished early Thursday morning (after 7 a.m.). While Prock was an early exit from the final table (8th), he lasted until after 3 a.m., making for probably little sleep before today’s main event.
He was gone from the main event going all in with AK of spades. His opponent held pocket jacks which held.
Maybe he had another commitment for later in the week?
