Welcome to The Big Event at the Bicycle Casino here in Bell Gardens, California. Today marks Day 1a of the $5,000 buy-in Main Event and is expected to draw quite the crowd. While the NBC National Heads-Up Championship is well underway in Vegas and will surely keep some of the top pros occupied, those who bust will have the opportunity to visit the Bike and take their shot at The Big Event title. One such player is none other than "Kid Poker" himself, Daniel Negreanu, who lost to Phil "The Unabomber" Laak in Round 1 of the NBC Heads-Up Championship.
Action is set to kickoff in about a half hour. In the meantime, we'll scour the room for the big name pros and let you know who'll be in action today. Check back then for all the latest and greatest updates from the Big Event at the Bicycle Casino.
