Event 9: $1,500 Six Handed No-Limit Hold'em

Welcome to Event 9 at this year's WSOP. This is the first short handed event to take place this year and with a lower buy-in, we expect it to be very popular with around 300 tables being set up for today's play. There's an awful lot of 6-max played online, so we expect a fair share of internet players in today's field. Play starts at midday.
