Early Risers
Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
Many poker pros opt to skip the first level of a big buy-in Main Event simply because at 25-50, there's much more to lose than to gain. After all, one cooler early and a bullet goes bust, while the 50-100 and 75-150 blind levels allow skilled bettors to build a stack without many showdowns.
Nonetheless, here are a few familiar faces we just spotted during a round around the room.
