The 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event is just minutes away and we are looking at a massive field already for Day 1a. If the screens around the tournament area are correct then there is a staggering 275 players registered already for Day 1a alone!
Amongst them, according to various Tweets flying around cyberspace, are November Nine members Ben Lamb, Phil Collins and Sam Holden, Chris Moorman, Johnny Chan and Roberto Romanello who is chasing a Triple Crown of major live titles.
Also spotted waiting outside the tournament area are Vanessa Selbst, Michael Watson, recent bracelet winner Tristan Wade and a whole host of well-known faces and top poker players, so many that we could quite easily fill an entire page with their names! Hold onto your hats, this should be a superb tournament.
Join us here on PokerNews for all the action, as it happens, from the 2011 WSOPE Main Event.
Tournament Director Jack Effel has just informed the players that he has ordered some new 5,000 chips to be brought into play because the ones the players currently have in their possession are very similar to the 100 chips.
The new chips still look similar to the 100's but are oversized so the players will be able to distinguish between the two more easily.

The players may have started with 30,000 and blinds of 25/50 but that has not stopped Herve Santais from donating his entire stack to Roberto Garcia. We did not see the hand but we saw Santais walking away looking rather sheepish and Garcia stacking up a monster pile of chips!
€10,400 for 12 minutes of poker! Wow!

On a board reading 
Andrew Robl lead out with a bet of 3,000 only to see Dylan Wilkerson make it 12,000 to play. Robl did not look too happy about this but he made the call anyway and mucked as soon as he saw the 
in front of his opponent.

On a board reading 
with 4,000 in the pot, Conrad Coetzer sits working out how much he should bet and he decide that 2,700 is the best amount and he makes the bet. His opponent is Tom Dwan and he sat staring at his cards before he dropped a yellow 1,000 chip that rolled around in front of him before "durrrr" picked it up and added it to his stack. Shortly afterwards he folded.
Dwan down to 17600 now.

Bryn Kenney raised to 250 from under the gun and after Tobias Garp folded, Cliff Josephy made the call. The action folded to the Eric Sadoun called in the small blind and Michael Pesek came along for the ride in the big blind.
Flop: 
- Both blinds checked, Kenney made a continuation bet of 725 and only Sadoun called.
Turn: - Sadoun checked and Kenney checked behind.
River: 
- Sadoun lead out with a bet of 1,050 and Kenney instantly mucked his hand.
