Shuffle Up and Deal!

Just before play began, WSOP Media Director Nolan Dalla took the mic for just a minute. He gave the players a heartfelt thanks for coming out to play this regional championship, reminding them that this is just the third of four. The final Regional Championship will be held on May 19th in New Orleans, a Circuit destination that historically draws very well.

With the players duly thanked and informed, T.D. Jimmy gave the dealers the command. "Shuffle up and deal," and Day 2 is under way.
