One Grand Time Awaits -- the First $1K NLHE Event About to Begin
We are about a half-hour away from the scheduled start time for Event No. 3, the first of several $1,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em events this summer. Today will see the first of two day ones, and all are anticipating an enormous field -- perhaps one of the largest of all of the events in this year's WSOP.
Last year's Event No. 4 -- won by Steve Sung -- was the only open $1,000 buy-in event of the WSOP, and it drew a whopping 6,012 runners. Early indications are we'll see at least that many come out over today and tomorrow to take their shot in this one.
We'll be back at noon local time or shortly thereafter to bring you all of the action.
