Aaron Henderson turned the miserable start into a great one. He first doubled up, then doubled with pocket kings against queens. Last but not least he busted a player with after spiking top pair on a

In 2008, Phil Laak started his WSOP Main Event adventure dressed as an old man, complete with a rubber mask, which prompted a change in the rules that states player cannot wear a mask at the tables. While not a mask as such, Laak is today sporting a huge pair of ski goggles that cover the top half of his head. We weren't sure that it was Laak at first but quickly realized nobody else in poker would wear such a thing!

While walking by the table of Mohsin Charania, he pointed towards me and said that Marvin Rettenmaier just busted. The text read something like "I got nit rolled so bad to bust" and the chair next to Joe Cada was indeed empty.

Jeff Madsen is down to less than seven big blinds after running into aces a few moments ago.
Madsen, who was on the button, three-bet all in for 3,400 over the top of a late position raise and was called by the small blind. The initial raiser folded, Madsen turned over and was way behind the
of his opponent.
The flop gave Madsen outs to an inside straight draw, but the
turn and
river were no help to him and he handed over 2,125 of his already relatively short stack.

Registration is still open and we are up to 7,931 entries now, topping the field of 2013 by more than 1,500 players so far. The Pavilion has three sections with tables from the second starting flight in the black, white and black sections. However, the floor is trying to move them as soon as possible into the Amazon room when they see fit.
There may be a long, long way to go in the Millionaire Maker but Joey Weissman has done his chances of progressing to Sunday's Day 2 no harm at all by accumulating a big stack.
Weissman has 16,000 chips at the 100/200 and is cruising right now.
Weissman won a WSOP bracelet in 2012 when he took down the $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em event, a victory that netted the man from Florida almost $700,000.
