First Break of the Day: Hot Start for Negreanu & Chattaway; Billirakis Falls
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.
