With such a vast field, it is uncommon to find to pros seated at the same table. That is not the case at Table 56 where Tiffany Michelle is seated right next to Hevad Khan.
There is still one empty seat there as well. Could another big name pro be assigned to Table 56?

The time is 12:10, England has scored one goal against the United States, and the cards are in the air.
"Shuffle up and deal" was said by an unfamiliar, yet famous, voice. The star of the Travel Channel's Ghost Hunters, Zak Bagan, is a special guest today and was invited to start off our tournament.
Ghosts can rest easy today, as of now he'll be hunting chips and a bracelet.

Today is the start of another $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em event at the 2010 World Series of Poker. It's the third of the $1,000 events and should draw another group of between 3,000 and 4,000 players for action. Stephen Gee won Event No. 13 to take home $472,479 while Aadam Daya won Event No. 3 for $625,872. Daya was the first of the $1,000 events and as expected, the number shrunk for the second one. It's going to be interesting to see if the numbers shrink even more for the third installment of these events or if they stay right around the same as the second one which Gee won.
With the only other event that begins today being the $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo Championship later this evening, there should be plenty of players buying in today for this no-limit event. As always, PokerNews will be on hand to bring you all the coverage from Day 1a. Grab your laptop and turn on the World Cup matches for some exciting action today. Seeing as USA is taking on England as we speak, the atmosphere in the room should be buzzing with excitement. Play begins at 12:00 noon time so stay tuned!
