WSOP Main Event Day 1A Recap
The 37th annual WSOP Championship event kicked off at the Rio with 2,138 players buying in for $10,000 each. There was so much interest in the first day that the Tournament Directors accepted alternates.
The tournament didn’t start without a little controversy. The NGC came down hard on players wearing anything with an online site’s dot com logo. The players and marketing people from those sites like PokerStars ran around swicthing shirts on their players or blocking the “.com” part of the logo on hats and jerseys with black tape. Most guys simply turned their shirts inside out.
