Day 1 Almost Ready to Start

Dealers are setting up their tables for the 333 players already registered for the start of Event 15, the $5,000 No-Limit Hold 'em tournament.

Last year, Scott Seiver was the last man standing in the 731-person field, taking home $755,891 and his first gold bracelet. We expect today's field to grow before the end of registration.

Stay with us for all the action from today's event.
