The $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em Championship Begins
The $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em Championship returns to the World Series of Poker schedule today after a year off.
Last year the buy-in for this variant of the game only got as high as $5,000 with Belgian superstar Davidi Kitai booking a $224,560 win to earn his second of now three WSOP bracelets over a field of 195 and a final table that included big names like Eugene Katchalov, Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier, and Dario Minieri.
Two years ago, the last time the WSOP held a $10,000 Pot Limit event, it drew 179 with Wall Street trader turned Season IX WPT Player of the Year Andy Frankenberger winning his second bracelet by defeating then eight-time bracelet winner Phil Ivey heads-up. Ivey has since won his ninth bracelet over in Australia and is expected to headline a relatively small but star-studded field here this evening, as his chase for a tenth continues.
Pot-Limit means exactly that, as betting in this style of Hold’em is limited to the size of the pot and the structure does not include antes even as the blinds climb up.
Starting with 30,000 in chips they will play the first ten 60-minute levels today and the PokerNews Live Reporting team will be on hand for them all. Stay tuned to follow all the action as it plays out.

Tilly Takes One
Nível 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Almost ten years after her Academy Award nomination for her role as Olive in 1994's Bullets Over Broadway, Jennifer Tilly won the 2005 WSOP Ladies Championship to become the first combination WSOP bracelet winner and Academy Award Nominee in history.
She's off to pretty fast start here in the $10k Pot-Limit Championship already, defending her big blind from a 300-chip late position raise that Amir Lehavot also called from the button.
Tilly took the lead making it 400 on the 
flop and only the original raiser made the call. Tilly fired again at the 
flop, this time making it 800 and getting another call. But on the river, when she three-barreled to 1,700, it was enough to take down the early pot.

turned. Schwartz check-called 850 this time, and both players checked the 
river.
"Who shows first?" Schwartz said with a smile, knowing full well it was him.
Loosli smiled and waited for Schwartz to show, and he turned over 
for a flush.
"I want to see that hand!" Schwartz said. "You're so lucky you get to just muck."

A Somerville Always Pays His Debts
Nível 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Antonio Esfandiari just took a seat at Table 367, and he hollered something at Jason Somerville, who promptly began walking over from a neighboring table.
"I love when you see a guy who owes you money, and he just walks over right away and pays you," Esfandiari said as Somerville handed him a stack of chips. "Can you imagine if it was always like that?"
That would be a glorious day, indeed.
