Tom Schneider is sitting at Table 22 today, but we spotted him surveying the adjacent tables as well. When his gaze stopped at Table 16, Seat 2, it landed on ESPN color man Norman Chad.

"Nice to see there is some dead money in the field," jested Schneider. Norman Chad simply chuckled and nodded his head in agreement.

The dealers are ready at their tables, and play will be underway in just 10 short minutes. As the players meander to their seats in the orange section of the Amazon Room, we have eyes on several notable players who are just sitting down. Among them, Barry Greenstein, David Singer, Jeff Lisandro, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi, Mike Sexton, Mike Matusow, Chau Giang, and ESPN announcer Norman Chad are all here to fight for this World Championship bracelet. That's just a short list; there will be plenty more pros and other notables who will trickle through that door by the time registration closes.

Sit tight, cards will be in the air shortly!

[user33020]

Eli Elezra is expected to be on hand to defend his stud hi-low title

The second of two events getting underway on Tuesday at the 2008 WSOP is Event 33, $5,000 World Championship Seven Card Stud Hi-Low Split-8 or Better. The stud hi-low event should draw plenty of big names in a field that should easily top 200 players; last year's event was won by Eli Elezra, who triumphed over 235 others to collect $198,984 and his first WSOP bracelet.

Join us at 5pm PDT as action in this three-day event gets underway. We'll have coverage from the first eight levels of play on Tuesday evening.
