Day 1 of Event #10: $1,500 Limit Hold'em is set to begin in a half hour or so in both the Orange Section of the Amazon Room and the Red Section of the Brasilia Room. As the field gets smaller and smaller, the tables will break into the Orange Section, until all of the players are in the Amazon Room.
David Arsht won this event last year, topping a field of 730 players to earn $211,921. Joining him at the final table were notables Al “Sugar Bear” Barbieri and Alex Queen.
This is one of only three limit hold'em events at the 2013 World Series of Poker - sorry, Matt Matros - and we anticipate seeing a very interesting combination of old school limit grinders and green newbies looking for a shot at a bracelet in a smaller buy-in event.
We also anticipate welcoming some of the greatest players of the game, including Matt Glantz, Barry Greenstein, J.C. Tran, Jason Mercier, and Daniel Negreanu, who all have busted the noon event.
The cards will be in the air at 5 p.m. local time, and the plan is to play eight 60-minute levels with a 30-minute "dinner" break after Level 4. Be sure to stay tuned for all of your live, up-to-the-minute updates straight from the tournament floor.

Shake Your Monnette Maker
Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
Last year, John Monnette crushed the 2012 World Series of Poker. He cashed in five events in Las Vegas, three more in Cannes, and won his second career WSOP gold bracelet. His first WSOP win came in 2011.
Along with his big win in Event #10: $5,000 Seven Card Stud, Monette finished runner-up in Event #32: $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. World Championship and third in Event #15: $5,000 Seven Card Stud Eight-or-Better. Despite these insane results, Monnette finished third in the Player-of-the-Year race due to the performances of Phil Hellmuth and Greg Merson.
Monnette is in the field this evening, and is no doubt looking to replicate the success he had in 2011 and 2012. In 2011, he finished 26th in this very event, taking home $6,096.
