Six-Handed Play About to Begin
Hello and welcome back to our coverage of the 2013 World Series of Poker! We're live in the Brasilia Room for Day 1 of Event #4: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em (Six Handed). This is a very popular event and we're expecting to see some exciting things happen on the felt through short-handed play.
Last year this event saw 1,604 runners hit the felt which spawned a total prize pool of $2,165,400. The first-place prize of $454,835 was handed to Matt Matros when he conquered Mark Radoja during heads up play. This event was especially historic as it was Matros' third consecutive bracelet win over three years. We fully expect the reigning champion to return to the felt today along with a breadth of poker's elite and amateurs alike.
The buzz in the Brasilia room is electric as tournament staff and dealers prepare for this exciting event. We've overheard predictions that the turnout for this event may beat the number of entrants from last year.
The plan is to play eleven 60-minute levels with a 90-minute dinner break after level six. Be sure to stay tuned to our coverage as we provide the most up to date reports from the tournament floor!

Tens Work For Elder
Nível 1
: 25/25, 0 ante
We arrived at the table to find Rupert Elder call a three-bet of 600 before the flop. Elder and an opponent took in a flop of 
. Elder checked on over to the raiser who fired out 700. Elder stayed the course.
The 
struck fourth street and Elder checked again. This time his opponent checked behind and the 
rivered. It went check-check once more.
"I have a pair of sevens," sighed Elder's opponent.
Elder rolled up 
and took down the pot. He's now sitting pretty early with about 6,500 in chips.
Upset Channing Doesn't Get His Way
Nível 1
: 25/25, 0 ante
With less than 30 minutes underway there has already been some noise and controversy over in the Gold Section. The button raised to 75 preflop followed by a call by the small blind. Neil Channing tried to raise it to 275 but was told that he could only check his big blind due to a string bet. The floor was called over and Channing explained his case in a not so elegant manner. "Check the f****** cameras," Channing ranted. But to no avail as he was not allowed to raise. The flop came down 
both blinds check to the button who bet 500 and Channing called. On the turn of the 
it went check-check and the river Channing bet 500 when the board read out with a full house with the 
.
Channing ended up winning the pot when the button folded but was rather rattled up about the whole situation. He finished his rant by concluding "Your accusing me of doing something wrong!" We will see if he goes off again on his table mates and see if more noise will be stirred up as we begin this event.

Kihara Growing
Nível 1
: 25/25, 0 ante
We caught up to find 2012 WSOP bracelet winner Naoya Kihara and an opponent looking down at a completed board of 
.
With over 900 already in the middle, Kihara checked on over to his opponent who bet 525. Kihara put his hands on his head and sat thinking for a moment. Eventually, he tossed in a call. His opponent showed 
for merely queen-high, and Kihara took it down with his 
for top pair.
Kihara is now sitting on about 6,100 in chips.
