While many pros choose to late register for most of their tournaments, here are a few players who woke up bright and early to be here with us this morning:
Just two days ago Michael Gathy took down Event #34: $1,000 Turbo No-Limit Hold'em for his second World Series of Poker bracelet. That was Gathy's second win in a $1,000 no-limit hold'em event. In the event Gathy took home $278,613 for his victory and we expect to see similar numbers today. Today could be the day for someone new to start their legacy.
Players will begin with 3,000 chips and the blinds at 25/25. Entrants will play out 10 levels today and we're sure to see lots of action. Everyone will be looking to build up monster stacks here on day one as they prepare for the three day endeavor they are embarking on.
This event marks the sixth open $1,000 no-limit event of the series, but will not be the last. One more $1,000 no-limit event will be played next week as well as the Little One for One Drop which has a $1,111 buy in.
We'll be here all day long with updates from familiar faces. We'll aslo be updating on who's got the biggest stacks coming out of day one so make sure you stay tuned to PokerNews.com all day long.
