WSOP MAIN EVENT: DAY 1A - Interactive

[Djinn]

The crowds are swarming towards their tables, and with the punctuality you can count on (at least there's that) I believe that we won't be starting too far behind schedule.  While waiting for the players to take their seats (among them Ian Woodley and Iwan Jones, whose goal, predictably but perfectly sensibly is, "To make day two") I went into the Expo - the huge room next to the Amazon in which overnight a huge selection of vendors, hawkers, advertisers, girls in small clothes and general randoms convened to overwhelm the players upon their arrival.  There's no avoiding it - the hall is cordoned off and everyone has to walk past Psychic Hanna's, dozens of stalls selling dealer buttons and T-shirts, and people handing out flyers for every conceivable marketing niche for the WSOP.  Greg Raymer was trying to get through the room without being forcefed Phil Hellmuth's energy drink while the geriatric player blocking the path in front was stopped in his tracks by a girl in a sparkly bikini appearing on a stage and dancing to that song from The Producers.  And there's an indoor mini basketball court and giant inflatable bottle of Jim Beam (pictured).

Within ten minutes the sea of people will have calmed, and we'll get to work spotting your picks and generally absorbing the atmosphere, the better to reproduce it in concentrated form once an hour.

Matt Jansen First Player Eliminated

The remaining players in the room let out a collective sigh of relief as they discovered that they were not the first player to bust out of the WSOP Main Event.

The first player to bustout was Matt Jansen. His {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} lost to Geroge Dolofam's {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. All the money went in on the flop of {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

"No more hearts!" screamed Dolofam.

This was the first bust out according  to cardplayer

Luke Staudenmaier was the first person knocked out of the 38th World Series of Poker. He got his chips in the middle with A-A and was up against A-K but came a cropper. 'I was an 80% favorite so i'm not upset,' he said afterwards. 'Do i get a prize,' he asked before sauntering out of the Amazon Room.
