After an extended break, the Clubs Bracket has reported for action. Cards are now in the air. Based on the opening monologue delivered by hostess Leeann Tweeden, this bracket will be the first bracket shown on the television broadcast.
Mike Matusow will start his match with a slight handicap. His glasses broke about thirty minutes before play began. Matusow sent his girlfriend home to retrieve a spare pair but she is yet to return.
