Play Concludes For The Evening

The last of four Day 1's is now over. Roughly 650 players survived the day and are currently bagging their chips. Those who survived Days 1a and 1b will meet tomorrow on Day 2a. Those who survived Days 1c and 1d will play Wednesday on Day 2b.

Gus Gets Lucky

It is folded around to the small blind, who raises to 2,400. Gus Hansen reraises to 7,800 from the big blind and the SB moves in for 36,000. Gus goes into the tank and eventually calls, opening {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}. The SB has {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}.

The flop comes {Q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Gus gets lucky when the {10-Clubs} hits the turn, giving him a straight.

Truth from Chris Grigorian

Chris "Armenian Express" Grigorian asks a young player if this is his first World Series. The player says it is.

"After your first one, you have to keep playing," Grigorian says. "You can't stop. Sure, you can miss a $2K event, but you've always got to play in the main event. I started in '02, and I've never stopped."
