Tables Are Breaking Fast

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

Tables are breaking fast today. So far half of the Orange Section in the Amazon Room has been relocated but the Tan Section is still full. Over in the Pavilion Room about 2/3 of the Black Sections has been broken but the White Section is still bursting at the seams.

2007 Main Event Champ Here to Play

The 2007 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion Jerry Yang is playing a lot more this WSOP than we're used to. This is his fourth event he's played this year and already cashed in Event 9 in 153rd place.

Yang made a deep run in the $1,500 Six-Max event but busted just short of the money.

"I plan to play all the No Limit events this year and the Main Event for sure. I'm not sure about the bigger buy in events, we'll have to wait and see," Yang said.

Less Than An Hour to Register

There are 30 minutes left in Level 4 and the there is a 20 minute break afterwards. Registration will close at the end of the break. That gives hopefuls another 50 minutes or so to join the field.

Nguyening with All American Dave

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

We found Huy Nguyen looking satisfied and full in Black Section of the Pavilion Room. He's one of many players that have become customers of "All American" Dave.

For those who don't know "All American" Dave came onto the WSOP scene two years ago as a personal trainer for some of the players that live in Panorama. He extended his training into providing delicious, healthy meals to poker players at the Rio.

Nguyen said, "It's the best. I had Rosemary Garlic Chicken with asparagus, kale and sweet potato hash. Plus they bring it right you your table."

Dave's clients won seven WSOP bracelets in 2011 and that number should rise by late July considering the number and caliber of clients he has.
