Event #61: $10,000 Seven-Card Stud Championship
Day 1 Started
Seven Card Stud is a staple in poker and its championship event is always highly anticipated. Today is the day the best stud players in the world meet in the $10,000 Championship event, and we're right here to bring you all the coverage. For the first time since 2011 - and for the fifth time in World Series of Poker history - the Seven Card Stud championship has a $10,000 buy in and a stacked field is expected to play today.
Last year, when the tournament had a $2,500 buy in, it was David Chiu who took down the second Seven Card Stud championship of his poker career. Chiu won the event back in 2000 as well and this year he'll try to become a three-time winner. Men 'the master' Nguyen won this event in 2003 and 2010 and that shows once more that this tournament is a true test of poker skill.

Back in 2009, a 74-year-old real estate broker from Brooklyn, New York, came to Las Vegas to play the World Series of Poker. It was the first WSOP for the former singer who entered one event, the $10,000 Seven-Card Stud Championship.
Ellis went on to win the tournament after beating another legend - Eric Drache - heads-up, solidifying his name to be forever remembered at the WSOP. Ellis' playing against a tough table with Brian Hastings and Cory Zeidman, but it seems like the 79-year-old has not lost his moves.
