Fighting the Good Fight

Max Pescatori and Allen Kessler recently approached WSOP supervisor Tom Sexton regarding Day 1's structure. Currently, the players are scheduled to go on a one-hour dinner break starting at 6:30 p.m. and play just one level upon their return.

Pescatori argued that he thinks players would rather play at least two levels after the dinner break, as it makes no sense to come back and play just one.

"If you surveyed the field, I guarantee like 90% of them would say yes. It will be bigger than Obama," joked the Italian Pirate.

No changes have been made to the schedule just yet. We'll let you know if the staff makes a ruling on the issue.
