The crack of noon on Monday brings the start of Event #17 at the this year's WSOP, $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout. The first two rounds of play are scheduled to be held on Monday, meaning that the day's action here could, conceivably, run well into the morning hours.
Last year 900 players joined the fun and a similar turnout is expected this time around. Donald Baruch claimed the bracelet and $264,107 winner's check in 2007.
