Danielsson's Delight
Chuck Danielsson, an instructor at Deuces Cracked, just sat down at his seat and said "Looks like a favorable table draw." We'll be the judge of that, as his table is directly in front of our PokerNews blogging table.

After a few quick announcements from the tournament director, including a lengthy reminder about concealing chips, the dealers were given the command, and the cards have gone flying here in the twenty-third event of the WSOP.
Let's do this.

It's Limit Time, Six Ways!
Good evening from the spacious confines of the Amazon Room, and welcome to the only short-handed limit event on the 2010 WSOP schedule. It's Event #23, the $2,500 Six-handed Limit Hold'em funfest. Last year's event drew 367 runners to the felt on Day 1, and it culminated in a memorable final table after three long days of card playing. Brock Parker and Daniel Negreanu were the last two men standing, Negreanu drawing a huge throng of spectators into the featured table arena to watch him battle it out. After more than 90 minutes of heads-up dueling, Parker clipped Negreanu to win the first of his two back-to-back bracelets.
It's a new year now, though, and both Negreanu and Parker are expected to be on hand to try for a repeat appearance at this final table. We're right at the thirty minute call right now, and T.D. Kevin's voice just came booming over the microphone: "A reminder to limit players... a bet and four raises. Unlimited raising applies only to the last two players left in a tournament."
There are no players in the room just yet, so we expect that announcement was more intended for the dealers, and we'll probably hear it one more time when we get some players into their seats. Speaking of dealers, they're out in full force over here in the Blue section. We've got fifty six-handed tables set up right now, and that's only enough for 300 runners by our monkey math. So either the staff knows something we don't about the registration numbers, or we'll have to find some room for spillover as we go.
There's lots of elbow room in here today, and the short tables figure to generate a lot of action from our small but skilled field. We're still awaiting our 5:00 p.m. start time, so head over to the Live Reporting page and have a check on the other events while you've got a few minutes. We'll be back with the shuffle up and deal shortly.
