Welcome back to our on-going coverage of the 2013 World Series of Poker! Today marks the start of a unique event on the WSOP schedule: Event #38: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em (Four Handed). Players receive several opportunities to play short-handed for a bracelet throughout the year with several six-max events on the schedule, but the four-max structure provides for quicker, more aggressive play and an ultimately one-of-a-kind experience.

Last year this event saw 750 entrants hit the felt for this event and by the end of Day 1 only 86 remained. In the end, it was Timothy Adams who conquered the field to claim his first WSOP bracelet and the $392,476 first-place prize. Adams was able to best Brendon Rubie heads up and defeat a final four that also included James Schaaf and Anthony Gregg.

With players paying something to the blinds with half of the hands that they see, we expect nothing more than intense action here on Day 1. Be sure to stay with us throughout the day here on PokerNews as we provide live updates from the tournament floor of the Brasilia room.
