Jonathan Little and Steven van Zadelhoff Seated Early

It's Day 1a of the Main Event and while 11 a.m. is early for most poker players, there will be plenty of familiar faces up and ready to go.

Among those is Jonathan Little and Steven van Zadelhoff. The two pros have taken their seats in Amazon Gold and look to get a head start on the 48th Annual World Series of Poker.

Little has already gotten off to a fast start this series with five cashes, including a ninth-place finish in Event #43: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em for $21,360. He has yet to capture his first WSOP bracelet, but has amassed over $6.5 million in earnings and will certainly keep trying.

Van Zadelhoff has booked two cashes so far and looks to add to his $1.4 million in earnings by locking up a win in Las Vegas to add a gold bracelet to his handful of wins from Prague, France, Spain, and his home country of the Netherlands.
