Shuffle Up and Deal!
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
World Series of Poker Tournament Director Jack Effel has just welcomed the players to the National Championship and gave the traditional, "Shuffle up and deal."
The plan for the day is to play nine levels, which should get everyone out by midnight. Registration will remain open until the start of Day 2, which is Noon CST on Thursday, and Effel alluded to the fact that more players are expected to fly in today to take advantage of the late registration.
