With three cashes to his credit here at the 2013 World Series of Poker, including a final table appearance at Event #4 ($1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed), pro Keven Stammen is here today looking to add to that impressive showing.

Currently, Stammen sits on a stack of about 5,100, but with his edge in terms of experience over this largely amateur field, we expect to see him making moves throughout this first day of play.

With a raise in front of her, Kathy Liebert slid a stack forward for the three-bet, and Paulette Faucher decided to make her stand with , moving all in for her last 3,500 or so chips.

Liebert asked for a count and joked with Faucher for a bit before ultimately making the call with , and she remained in a jovial mood even after discovering she was trailing Faucher's pocket pair.

No, This is Patrick

[user253757]

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

With so many poker pros in attendance today, we managed to spot a familiar face who made his name away from the felt.

Bill Fagerbakke has played crucial roles in many of television's longest running series, although the average fan would be hard pressed to pick him out of a lineup.

Fans of the college football themed series Coach, which aired from 1989 to 1997, will remember Fagerbakke from his legendary portrayal of Dauber, the dim witted but devoted assistant to Coach Hayden Fox.

For the younger generation, Fagerbakke's voice will no doubt ring bells, as he has given life to Patrick Star on the Nickelodeon hit SpongeBob SquarePants for the show's 14-year run.

And if animation isn't your thing, Fagerbakke has made several memorable appearances on How I Met Your Mother, portraying Marvin Eriksen, the Scandinavian father of Marshall Eriksen, until the character's death in 2011.

Fagerbakke's distinctive height and voice have provided him with plenty of on-screen work throughout the years, but today he is hoping to add a deep run at the World Series of Poker to his long list of life accomplishments.
