Slow and Steady Defines Day 1

Unlike most other massive fields at this year's WSOP, play in this event was slow and steady rather than fast and furious. Most players tried to limp into as many pots as possible, hoping to connect on a cheap flop. Three betting preflop was practically unseen.
Despite the slow pace, more than 2,300 players found themselves heading to the rail before the end of the day. Some notable players who won't be returning tomorrow include Amarillo Slim Preston, Eddy Scharf, Michael Craig, Humberto Brenes, and former senator and current PPA chairman, Al D'Amato.
A few name players, including Berry Johnston, Barbara Enright and Minneapolis Jim Meehan will be among the 402 returning seniors when play resumes at 2PM.
