The first Wednesday of the 2008 World Series of Poker serves up a $2,000 no-limit hold'em tourney, a popular event that is sure to draw a large field to the Amazon for the event's noon start. Expect the giant hall to be filled nearly to capacity for this one, with returning events from later day getting underway as a few tables become available.

Last year, this event drew 1,531 entrants, and it was won by Will Durkee, who took home a winner's check for $566,916. A similar payday awaits this year's winner, and PokerNews will have the stories, every step of the way.
