... is again on tap at the World Series of Poker. The last Saturday prior to the Main Event itself promises to have the Rio Convention Center bulging at its seams. Space considerations will keep the total number of entrants lower than last year's 3,151, which ultimately resulted in Chandrasekhar Billavara taking home a $722,914 first-place prize. It's also the next-to-last $1,500 no-limit event on the '08 WSOP schedule.

The frenzy begins at noon, in the Amazon, Tropical and Brasilia Rooms, adjacent to Buzio's Restaurant, and even in the Rio's own poker room. It'll be a busy day at the WSOP.
