It's sure to be another busy Saturday at the the 2008 World Series of Poker when Event #27, $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em, gets underway on Saturday. The popular weekend events with affordable buy-ins draw the largest attendance numbers outside the Main Event itself, and today's tourney will be no exception.

It was in this event last year that Phil Hellmuth Jr. captured his record-setting 11th career bracelet, shattering the three-way tie he had previously held with Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan. Hellmuth also won $637,254, a huge payday that was somehow still secondary to the career wins mark.

PokerNews will, as always, be on hand with up-to-the-minute reports from the floor.
