The first two levels are in the books and the field is going on a 20 minute break. We'll be back in action after today's bracelet ceremonies.
2012 World Series of Poker
Katie Dozier, one quarter of the Grindettes, is playing in the Brasilia Room. Dozier recently final tabled an event at the Venetian and has been playing a full schedule of WSOP events.
The Grindettes are known for the great smiles, enthusiasm for the game and they're exceptional talent at baked goods. Recently, Dozier provided freshly baked peanut butter cookies for the staffers at PokerNews and is currently leading the Word Series of Baked Goods.
Robet Iler, star of HBO's "The Sopranos", is no stranger to the WSOP. He's been closely associated with the game for a few years now. We caught him railing Antonio Esfandiari's final table run two nights ago.
Today he is the Silver Section of the Brasilia Room playing the event. Iler cashed in last year's Main Event, finishing in 275th place. Iler usually just plays the Main Event for the last five years but apparently 43 is his lucky number so he's playing a bit more this year.
We've taken a second pass through the Brasilia Room and found these players in the field.

The tournament clock reads 2,496 players are seated and playing. There is still close to almost three hours to register.
We just checked on the registration line and it is no longer wound back and forth out of the door. It should be relatively painless to pick up seat while you still can.
