There was an announcement that Ray Romano has joined the field today. The gentleman that "looks" like Romano promptly stood up and said, "I hope this is not being taped. I told my wife I went fishing." So, according to Raymond, he went fishing. That's his story and he's sticking to it. (Sorry, Ray, but I think you will be on tape.)

PokerNews grabbed bracelet winner Ciarin O'Leary (who took down the first No-limit event of the 2007 WSOP) on first break from his Day 1 of the Main Event to chat about how despite what you might think, already winning a bracelet this series actually ADDS some pressure to perform in the Main Event.

[user37786]

With the board reading {2-Spades}

Chan led out for 1,200 and his opponent said, "You play pretty solid, so..." and just called. The {3-Diamonds}

fell on the river and after the other player led out for 2,000 Chan made it 5,000 total to go. The other player called and had an Ace for the wheel, but Chan had {K-Diamonds}

for the six-high straight to take a pot that put him up to 24,000.

Team G

[user24788]

Mike Giordano is the leader of Team G. There are nine of them playing today. His group is easy to spot since they are all wearing matching red shirts. They are a group of Democrats and Giordano has a donkey (about the size of a water bottle) as his card capper. The donkey is the symbol of the Democratic Party.
