Tuesday's action will feature the start of this year's Main Event, Day 1, which featured four different start days.
No one is safe, not even the best pros in the world. Three-time WSOP bracelet winner Mike "The Mouth" Matusow takes center stage on opening day and brings plenty of entertainment and intensity. "The Mouth" has made some of the most memorable deep runs in the modern era of the Main Event, and this year he's as hungry as ever to get another shot at the title.
But he’ll have to contend with a monstrous field that features some of the biggest names in the game, including 2003 champion Chris Moneymaker, 2004 titlist Greg Raymer and 2010 Poker Players Championship winner Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi. Others in action on opening night include WSOP Europe Main Event winner Annette Obrestad, former Main Event champion Dan Harrington and 2008 WSOP Player of the Year Erick Lindgren.
Tuesday nights is poker night on ESPN, as each and every Tuesday through November 9, ESPN will carry two hours of original 2010 episodes of the WSOP Main Event during primetime.
