Shuffle and Play!

Emmitt Smith's opening words
Emmitt Smith's opening words

He's a Florida Gator, Dallas Cowboy, brother of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc., three-time Super Bowl champion, the NFL's all-time leader rusher and a future member of the NFL Hall of Fame?

Still can't guess?

Emmitt Smith kicked off today's action with, "Shuffle and play" rather than the traditional, "Shuffle up and deal." We'll give him a pass this time, but his next false start will be a five-yard penalty.

How 'bout them Cowboys?

Day 1d - The Last Starting Day

Welcome back to the Rio for another starting day for the 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event. It's been one heck of a ride so far during the first three starting days and one can only imagine the excitement that today will bring.

The fourth and final starting day to the Main Event is always the biggest. It's jam-packed with the biggest names from wall to wall and PokerNews is here to let you know all about it. Many players enjoy waiting to the last day so that they don't have a big break in the action before they play Day 2. Others enjoy taking some time off before the Main Event grind kicks in. You can expect that both the Amazon Room and the Pavilion will be stuffed with players.

The chip leaders from each day so far are Corwin Cole (228,200) from Day 1a, James Danielson (201,050) from Day 1b and Mathieu Sauriol (169,900) from Day 1c. The leaders tend to rise as the starting fields get bigger given that there are more players and more chips in play, but the opposite is true this year up until this point. Maybe today will have a different story.

Play kicks off at 12:00 p.m., so stay tuned for all the action from the floor!
