Chris Moneymaker is getting settled in at his Brasilia Room table, making his entrance with a meal from Popeye's Chicken and a ziplock bag full of his obligatory promotional patches in hands.

The 2003 WSOP Main Event champion greeted another player, who was wearing a University of Tennessee hat, warmly, and promised not to bust him early.

The first challenging spot of the day has already hit Moneymaker, however, as he discovered his Popeye's meal didn't come with utensils.
