Hello From The Rio!
Welcome back! We are coming at you from the Pavilion Room for Day 1 of Event #38: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em. This is the fourth installment of the $1,500 open buy in series, and we are expecting another large field for this one.
Foster Hays won the first $1,500 event where he topped a field of 3157 players for a whopping $735,400 first place prize! Since that win, Kirk Caldwell and 2010 WPT Player of the Year Andy Frankenberger have also won bracelets in these events. All three have gotten at least 2,500 people, and we are expecting that same amount today!
Action is set to get underway in about 30 minutes. We will be playing 10 levels before the players tag and bag and come back tomorrow. Stay tuned to Pokernews all day for the best live coverage in the world! Thanks for following along!
