The MAIN EVENT BEGINS at NOON

2008 Main Event Begins at Noon

The 2008 Main Event, known more formally as Event 54, $10,000 World Championship No-Limit Texas Hold'em, begins at noon. It's Day 1a, the first of four identical-in-length Day 1 sessions that will see the first bit of a field of several thousand hopefuls slowly pared away. Last year, Jerry Yang emerged from a 6,358-player field to win the massive $8,250,000 first-place prize. Day 1a registration lists have yet to be released, but there will be plenty of big names on hand on each of the four starting days. We'll have extensive coverage from the floor of the Amazon Room, with multiple reporting teams bringing you the latest news from the event. Join us right here at noon for the most famous words in poker: "Shuffle up and deal!"

Good luck to all our NC friends taking part....
