Shuffle Up and Deal!

WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack kicked off the festivites by thanking the sponsors and then introducing Tournament Director Jack Effel who mentioned three golden rules:

#1. If you are not at your seat when the cards are dealt, you have a dead hand.

#2. If you on a cellphone or text messaging when the cards are dealt, then your hand will be ruled dead.

#3. This is a non-smoking facility.

After he mentioned the rules, Effel handed the microphone over to last year's WSOP main event champion Jamie Gold. A few boobirds in the back then rained down a short chorus of boos.

Gold kicked off the 2007 WSOP by saying the magical words... "Shuffle up and deal!"
