Big Turnout Expected for $2,000 NLHE Event

One of the largest turnouts of the series to date is expected for Event #23, $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em. This one starts at noon and may end up being capped if the Amazon Room and nearby overflow spots such as the satellite room and the ten tables outside Buzio's Restaurant near the casino proper are filled.

Last year, Ben Ponzio triumphed over a 1,619-player field to take down a huge $599,109 payday.
