Child's Play For KidPoker

First hand sees Daniel Negreanu call a raise preflop and then call a 150 bet on a {Q-Diamonds}

board. When his opponent again leads out for 300 on the {10-Spades}

turn, Negreanu thinks before folding {A-Hearts}

face up.

He gets shown {K-?}

for his trouble.

Talent Spotting

[user76023]

So far we've spotted Daniel Negreanu, Fabrice Soulier and Erick Lindgren in for the event while French pro Nicolas Levi is smarting since he's not managed to get into the tournament.

Welcome To Day 1b of the $1,000 No Limit Hold'em Event!

[user76023]

Amazon Room - Jam-packed in the next half hour.

Another day and another 3,000 players are starting to filter into the halls around the Amazon room, all eager to take their shot at the biggest non-Main Event field in the history of the WSOP.

With just 376 having made through the first day, we can expect a similar mass exodus throughout the 10 levels we are playing today.

The doors to the Amazon, Brasilia and Miranda rooms are scheduled to open around 10 to 15 minutes before play starts but it might take a while for everyone to make their way to the seats. So look for the tournament to kick off at 12pm or maybe a few minutes afterwards.

Let the carnage commence!
