Easy Pickin's

As has been mentioned, many of the entrants to this event have not yet arrived. The blinds at table 31 for example, are going to be a relatively easy steal as only three players from that table have taken their seats.

Shuffle Up and Deal!

"Pot Limit Omaha Extraordinaire" Robert Williamson (as senior tournament director Jack Effel just referred to him) has made the official announcement and the cards are in the air.

Fashionably Late

As has been typical of the larger buy-in events, the pros are straggling in today with less than half the field seated. Predictably there are big names loitering about. Jeff Lisandro, Robert Williamson, Annie Duke, Erik Seidel, John Gale, Scotty Nguyen, Huck Seed, John Gale, Mel Judah, Mike Wattel...for starters.

Interesting Format

This is a $10,000 tournament. Players will receive 10,000 in chips, AND receive a 'special' chip, which can be redeemed for another 10,000 chips. So, players get a "rebuy", but this is not a rebuy event.

Small Field - Big Names
