Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

We are over 1,000 entrants to start the day and I expect that number to get closer to 2,000 by the time things are all said and done.

Two notables in the field right off the top are Maurice Hawkins and Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler.

Hawkins has 10 WSOP Circuit rings and is in search of his first WSOP bracelet this year. With over $2.5 million in live recorded earnings, this beast of a player is surely one to watch.

Kessler needs no real introduction, as anyone who knows poker knows "Chainsaw." He has over $3.4 million in live recorded earnings and three WSOP Circuit rings. He has cashed 100 times in WSOP events and if the cards go his way, he will be looking at a deep run and a shot at his first WSOP bracelet.
