Shh...

It's an odd feature of these $1,500 No-Limit events, the room is absolutely jam-packed...and it's quiet. Very quiet. You still hear the never-ending riffling of chips, but not much conversation as you walk through the room. The game faces are on and table banter is hard to come by.

This is a Big One

Today's $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em tournament is gonna be massive. We have players in the Amazon Room, the Tropical Room, the Brasilia Room, up outside of Buzio's restaurant and in the Rio's poker room. No truth to the rumor that they've set up poker tables on the alleys at Lucky Strike Bowling. It might take a few extra minutes for the players to find out where they're playing and get situated.

No-Limit Thursday at the Rio

A week of popular no-limit offerings at the WSOP continues on Thursday with the noon start of Event 36, $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em. It's the third $1,500 No-Limit in five days, in a bit of a scheduling quirk, but as always, the affordable buy-in will pack them in -- over 2,000 players are expected to be on hand.

Last year,this event was captured by Ryan Young, who outlasted 2,540 other entrants to capture the $615,955 first prize.
