A lot of people will know Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott and the Brit is playing in the Yellow section of the Pavilion room right now. Ulliott's start could have been better though, as he is already down to half starting stack.
Manuel Sadornil of Spain is here as well.

Knowing Peter Karamas from several tournaments in and around Vienna, it is no surprise to see him playing very aggressively. The Hungarian was already up to 6,000 chips, back down to 3,000 and now sits somewhere in the middle. He did pick up pocket aces once but unfortunately for him, the flop delivered another ace and thus killed the value he could get from his opponent.

Players have reached the first break of the day. Back in 20 minutes.
Ian Frazer was already up to more than 6,000 and then lost all but 175 chips to the opponent in seat two. However, he is back to almost starting stack now after doubling up with 
. He moved all in for 1,225 out of the big blind after three limpers called the 50 pre flop and the lady in under the gun called his shove with 
.
The board ran out 
. Just after that, the player in seat ten cracked a joke: "In about five minutes you will see the funniest thing ever. 4,000 people trying to get to the bathrooms." Yep, the first break is almost upon us.

Back in poker's glory days the world was captivated by an inspirational story to emerge from the 2007 World Series of Poker Main Event, as Hal Lubarsky became the first legally blind player to compete on poker's premier stage.
Lubarsky was born with the ability to see, and during his late 20s he relocated to Las Vegas with dreams of becoming a professional poker player. He competed against many of Sin City's top players at that time, becoming a regular in $150/$300 H.O.R.S.E. games and living that aforementioned dream — until a hereditary dystrophy known as retinitis pigmentos left Lubarsky without the sight so many of us take for granted.
Following a period of depression Lubarsky used poker to pull himself out of the doldrums, devising a way to continue playing the game he loves and diving back into the world of flops and folds despite not being able to see the felt. In 2007 Lubarsky garnered worldwide attention during ESPN's now-legendary broadcasts of the WSOP Main Event, with viewers becoming captivated by the image of Lubarsky playing poker alongside an assistant who reads his cards and informs him of the action.
Lubarsky did much more than simply enter the event, however, as his deep run to a 197th-place finish in the Main Event earned him $51,398, along with a certain sense of validation and the widespread respect of his poker peers.
Seated directly in front of the PokerNews' Live Reporting desk here today, Lubarsky is looking for his fifth career cash at the WSOP, so we'll be sure to track his progress throughout the day.
