The 2011 World Series of Poker kicked off on Tuesday from the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Anticipation was high as Event #1, the $500 Employees Event, kicked off at noon. As the day wore on, the money bubble burst and Jordan Dhooghe emerged as the chip leader going into Day 2. Poker's elite turned out in the evening for Event #2, the $25,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em World Championship. After two rounds of play, 32 players advanced to take their shots at the first open bracelet of 2011.

Very upbeat initial reporting on the WSOP. Please tell us clearly where to get the live final table feeds ASAP ... since every poker player is going to want to see them. In fact, POKERNEWS might want to do a live commentary (with Eric for example) during the live feed. I realize I may be sentencing Eric or someone to 20+ hours of hell ... sorry but a lot of people will be following and you can set up a shoutbox alongside the live feed. Just an idea
