Silky Smooth

Today's restart is the largest restart outside of the Main Event in WSOP history. From getting the players in their seats with the correct chip stack, to the introduction of the new chip counting ID system, to the procedure used for hand-for-hand play, all of the staff -- dealers, runners, floor people and tournament directors -- have been absolutely top-notch. For a restart that could have been filled with extremely painful bumps in the road, things have gone as smoothly as possible.

There hasn't been much to complain about at the start of this year's WSOP.
