One level is in the books here on Day 1c of the 2014 World Series of Poker. Event organizers were expecting a large turnout, and while official numbers aren't in, the amount of players has not disappointed as thousands are spread across the Pavilion, Amazon, and Brasilia Rooms.
Only two hours of play have passed, but there have already been some notable developments.
Players are now headed on their first 20-minute break of the day, and Level 1 was already a great one.
After giving the "shuffle up and deal," Daniel Negreanu got off to a quick start, while Billy Chattaway jumped out to the early lead after winning a huge hand with quads against a full house.
Earlier this morning, Pauly "Walnuts" Bianchi was playing poker in Chicago, but thanks to a few lucky hands of blackjack he finds himself in Las Vegas taking a shot at the Main Event.
Then there was Steve Billirakis, but he unfortunately became one of the first notables to fall on Day 1c.

Ariel Celestino checked to Paul Pierce on a flop of 
, and the 2008 NBA Champion bet 350. Celestino check-raised to 1,250, and Pierce went into the tank.
"How much more is it?" Pierce asked.
The dealer informed him that it was 900 more, and Pierce reached into his stack.
"I'll see one more card," he said, flipping a yellow T1,000 chip forward.
The turn was the 
, Celestino bet 2,000, and Pierce made a silent call. The river was a repeat nine — the 
— and the Brazilian casually tossed out 6,000. Pierce sat quietly for 30 seconds or so, then grabbed his whole stack with two hands.
"Okay," he finally said, pushing forward an all-in bet of 15,575 and standing up. "I guess it's time to go home."
Celsetino couldn't help but laugh at the 10-time NBA All-Star, and asked for a count. While the dealer was cutting down the stacks, Pierce started to stretch.
"I'm just stretching out," Pierce told the players next to him, loosening up his arms.
Celestino eventually made a crying call, asking if Pierce had a full house, and "The Truth" turned over 
for just that: eights full of nines.
"I thought you were going home?" a player asked Pierce, grinning.
"I told y'all I'm just stretching!" Pierce responded, smiling from ear to ear.
The future basketball Hall-of-Famer dragged in the pot, doubling to 38,000.

Theodore Driscoll finished second in the Little Drop for One Drop yesterday collecting $394,281, and today he’s hopped into Day 1c of the Main Event.
Driscoll opened a recent pot from first position and picked up five callers.
The flop was 
and when Driscoll checked an older gentleman bet 2,500. “Hit that pretty hard, eh?” Driscoll said when it got back to him. He folded saying it was too early in the tournament, later telling us he folded 
.
Driscoll then got into a discussion with Stephen Chidwick on the nature of luck and the meaning of running good in poker tournaments. It didn't seem as if they were entirely seeing eye-to-eye.

Fame and fortune are usually reserved for the winner of the WSOP Main Event, but every once in awhile the man who finishes in second place is fondly remembered in poker lore. Case in point — 2005 WSOP Main Event runner-up Steve Dannenmann.
Poker fans will no doubt remember the Maryland native as the jovial chap with a globe card protector who gave Australian Joe Hachem a run for his money. That year, with millions of dollars on the line, Dannenmann was all smiles talking about how much fun he was having and how he had run out of clean underwear. He was truly a character of the game, and for the past decade he's been a friendly face among the masses.
Dannenmann is currently seated in the Brasilia Room enjoying yet another Main Event. In a recent hand, a player sporting a Jubilee Casino hat and polo combo — that's in Monterrey, Mexico for those that don't know — opened the action for 300 and Dannenmann opted to defend from his big blind.
Both players checked the 
flop, and then Dannenmann bet 400 on the 
turn. His opponent called and then both players returned to checking on the 
river. The "Jubilee Man" tabled the 
for fishhooks, and they were good as Dannenmann sent his cards to the muck.
Rest assured we'll be keeping an eye on the 2005 WSOP Main Event runner-up throughout the day.

for trip jacks. Makhija mucked his hand and his opponent raked in the chips
