While we players are still filtering in at a steady pace, Joseph Cheong was heading the wrong as he was quick to hit the rail.
2013 World Series of Poker

$1k turbo today. I hope this tourney is well received & there are more next year. Maybe even change the reg 1ks to this structure, 5k chips?Follow @Roothlus

The turbo is great for the WSOP. Hope it paves the way for the $1k Lottery next year. Should be over in 5 minutes. #NoLateReg #WinnerTakeAllFollow @Matthew_Waxman

If you are a poker fan, today would be a great day to visit the Rio!
We just saw Tobias Peters leave his table, we can only assume that he's already busted. These other players are still in it to win it:
Ray Romano has arrived and is seated on table 145 in the white section of the Pavilion Room. For any fans out there, that's right on the rail. Romano has been playing the Main Event for the last couple of years but is already in town now to show these guys how to play a turbo.
It looks like this is going to be a star-studded event here in Brasilia. Here some friendly faces on the first pass through the gold and red sections of the room:
