The buzz inside the walls of the Rio extends beyond just the tournaments on the 2013 World Series of Poker schedule. Online poker in Nevada is a very, very hot topic right now, and WSOP.com is making a lot of noise.

While the site has yet to launch, you can head to the Lambada Room of the Rio or look for one of the beautiful and friendly WSOP.com ladies walking the hallways to sign up for a free, personal WSOP.com online poker account. This is a great way to get a jump on the site's registration, and plenty of people have already taken this opportunity.

What's more is that the WSOP will be hosting daily raffles for everyone that has taken the time to register for WSOP.com at the Rio. What can you win? Plenty of fantastic prizes including 36 WSOP seats!

Brutal Table In Red Section

Kevin Taylor

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

Well it's safe to say that we have found the toughest table not only in this tournament, but probably all of the Rio, if not all of Las Vegas in general. Here's how the stacked lineup looks.

Seat 1: William Reynolds
Seat 2: Cylus Watson
Seat 4: Phil Ivey
Seat 5: Brian Rast
Seat 6: Chino Rheem

You can't help but feel for the unknown player who is stuck in the middle of this murderer's row of high stakes vets. Fortunately for the players, and unfortunately for the fans, this table will be one of the next ones to break.
