Right Where He Left Off... Jonathan Duhamel is starting his 2011 Main Event exactly where his 2010 Main Event ended, at the feature table. The 2010 Main Event Champion begins his title defense today on Day 1C. The Matador Doubles Late 2001 WSOP Main Event Champion Carlos Mortensen doubled up on one of the last hands during play on Day 1B. His pocket kings held up against his opponent's A-10 to put him at 105,025 to end the day. The Binger Rail Gloria Balding, Liv Boeree and Vanessa Selbst watch the action as Nick Binger went for the title in the $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low event. Binger would end up defeating David Bach heads-up to take home his first WSOP gold bracelet. The Better Half Maya Antonius, wife of pro Patrik Antonius, takes her seat on Day 1B of the WSOP Main Event. Patrik is also in today's field. Feels Like a Freeroll When we caught up with Robert Croak, creator of Silly Bandz, he had quite a story to tell. Apparently, a car ran a light and nearly smashed into Croak on his way to the Rio. He had to cross traffic and go over the median to avoid an accident. After that, everything feels like a freeroll to him today. Don't Have a Cow, Man... Sam Simon, one of the co-creators of The Simpsons, is in the WSOP Main Event Day 1B field. Back To The Grind 2010 November Nine member Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi gave the "Shuffle Up and Deal" on Day 1B of the WSOP Main Event. Afterwards, he was placed on the Main Stage featured table. He took a hit to his stack early but has slowly been building it back up. The Other Side of the Rail Poker player McLean Karr found himself in unfamiliar territory late on Day 1A of the Main Event, on the rail, literally! After busting out earlier in the day, Karr was spotted watching his girlfriend, Tatjana Pasalic, while she was involved in a hand. Final Table Reflections The final table of the $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low event as seen through Allen Kessler's sunglasses. Kessler would end up finishing in 9th place after being knocked out by Phil Laak. The Day Belongs to Doyle When Doyle Brunson decided to play the 2011 WSOP Main Event, poker fans around the world were relieved to know that the man responsible for so much in the poker community would be back. There are 1400 entries in the photo blog.
