The Main Event Approaches

Could Jeffrey Lisandro win a record fourth bracelet in a single year?
Could Jeffrey Lisandro win a record fourth bracelet in a single year?
We're less than an hour away from the start of Day 1a action in the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event, live from the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

It will be a short while before players are admitted to the Amazon Room, as tournament staff continues with last-minute preparations for the event. It's as yet unknown whether the Day 1a turnout will overflow into the Brasilia or Miranda rooms, but will likely occupy much or all of the available space in Amazon. Last year's Day 1a turnout was the smallest by far of the four opening sessions, and was not indicative of the overall turnout for the event. Nonetheless, well over a thousand players are expected to be on hand when play begins in just less than an hour.
