Welcome to Day 1 of Event #60: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em. With only six events left of the 45th annual World Series of Poker, chances of winning a gold bracelet are getting fewer. This is the last $1,500 no-limit hold’em of the 2014 series and a large turnout is expected.
In 2013, Loni Harwood captured the final $1,500 no-limit hold’em full-ring crown and the $609,017 first-place prize. Harwood defeated a field of 2,541 earning the top share of the $3,430,350 prize pool.
Action is scheduled to begin at noon inside the Brasilia room where players will battle their way through 11 hour-long levels of play on Day 1. Keep it locked on the PokerNews live update blog for all the day’s big names, big pots, and bustouts.

Piotrowski Rivers One-Outer
Level 1
: 25/25, 0 ante
We heard a loud roar coming from a table in the Brasilia's silver section. Charles Piotrowski leaped out of his chair, fist pumping, and announcing he had hit a one-outer on the river to triple up.
All three opponents in the hand had smashed the 
board. Piotrowski held 
for quads, the player with the largest stack had 
for kings full, and unfortunately for the smallest stack of the three, and the player with the best hand going into the river, his straight with 
had been crushed.
