The @WSOP Millionaire Maker has just become the largest $1500 buy-in live poker tournament in history. Just broke previous record of 3,929.June 01 2013

The clock reads 3,397 players but that number will increase since the registers are still open. If we take into account that people who bust also will be able to sign-up for Day 1b we'll have a huge increase on the previous record.

Over here in the Brasilia Room, we've browsed through the Gold and Silver sections to find the following players.

Alson is a notable author and President at United States Poker Federation. Of the books Alson has written, the most interesting to the poker audience would be One of a Kind: The Rise and Fall of Stuey ',The Kid', Ungar, The World's Greatest Poker Player, which he co-authored with the great World Series of Poker Media Director Nolan Dalla and MIke Sexton.

If the last name Moreno rings a bell, that's because it's our very own Kristy Arnett's true married name, and Andrew Moreno is her husband. He's seated to the direct left of Chip Jett, a long time poker professional.

Then you have Bobby Rooney. Although he may not be a household name just yet in poker, Rooney is coming off an impressive third-place finish in Event #1: $500 Casino Employees No-Limit Hold'em. This event had a whopping 898 players and was won by PokerNews' own Chad Holloway. Rooney earned for $33,903 for his result.
