Welcome to Harrah's New Orleans!
Good morning and welcome to the final Main Event of the 2010-11 World Series of Poker Circuit season.
We are in New Orleans, Louisiana, a favorite amomg circuit regulars and well, just about everyone who gets the chance to come here. It will be a critical week for many as the next seven days will determine how the WSOP-C national leaderboard will shape up leading up to the WSOP-C National Championship to be held at Caesars in Las Vegas in less than two weeks time. You can check out the current standings here.
At the moment, just more than 250 are signed up to play and we expect that number to cross the 300 mark before registration closes. Many familiar faces will be here to play today. Among them are WSOP-C Chester Main Event winner Kenny Nguyen, Adam "Roothlus" Levy, Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler, Chris Tryba, Chad Brown, Ari Engel, and Tim Finne.
Play is expected to kick off about ten minutes from now, so be sure to keep it here at PokerNews throughout the day as we bring you all of the exciting action.
