We're gearing up for what promises to be one of the more entertaining events of this year's series, the $1,500 No-Limit Hold 'em Shootout.

For those unfamiliar with the concept, it's essentially a series of Sit & Gos where we'll start with 1,000 players and end the day with 100 individual table winners. A winner-take-all format where the prize for beating your table will be to return for Day 2 and a shot at the final 10 on Friday.

We're locked and loaded, ready to bring you full coverage of today's action, so hang around and see which players are quickest on the draw.
