Fireworks At The Rio – Day 1B Of The WSOP
11:40 a.m.They are letting the players in. This time to Jamiroquai, a huge improvement on the crap they played yesterday. You can always tell who is excited to be here as they are the first ones in when the doors open. They clutch their registration card as if it is their last born child and look across the vast room to locate their table. Little to do they know what they have in store for them.

WSOP Main Event Day 1A Recap
1,297 players started the biggest poker tournament in the world with dreams of being part of the “November Nine.” Despite the small number, it is actually up slightly from last year’s day 1A, so it remains to be seen if the field will be smaller than last year's or continue the trend seen thus far in increasing slightly.

More From Day 1A Of The Main Event
2:45 p.m.Players have returned from the first break and the blinds have gone from 50/100 to 100/200. I always hate how tournaments insist on doubling the blinds after one level. It's still 100 big blinds if you have your starting stack, but why can't they throw in a 75/150 level to give even more play.

Graham Grabs Event 53 Gold
It was the last of the 2008 World Series of Poker events prior to the main event. The $1,500 Limit Hold’em Shootout was the final one on the schedule of tournaments leading up to the one everyone has been waiting for, and it was the last chance for a player to win a bracelet without having to maneuver through a field of 6,000 to 8,000 players.

The Ultimate Poker Tournament Begins – Day 1A Of The Main Event
10:45 a.m.I got here a little early, mainly to make sure I beat the mad rush that will get here in about an hour and to make sure I got a seat on media row. There is NO event like the Main Event in poker. People can talk all they want about the WPT Championship or the 50K H.O.R.S.E. event but this is the one that everybody dreams of... it's the impossible dream...

Movies and television programs involving poker have been around for as long as there have been screens to watch them on. Hollywood often uses gambling to add some spice to a story line.
