WSOP Day 38 - WSOP Main Event Arrives

WSOP Day 38 is the one that has been marked on the calender by most as the first day of the WSOP Main Event. Four starting days will see thousands of players descend on the Rio with dreams of playing well, running good and returning in November to play it out for the bracelet like 2010 winner Jonathan Duhamel.


Meanwhile however, there are still prelims to finish up as the hard stop rule forced the end of play in two remaining events.

The last big field NL event was paused three handed as Event #56: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em saw Hasan Anter finish the day with a large chip lead over fellow survivors Andy Philachack and Nemer Haddad.


Event #57: $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo Split also fell victim to the hard stop rule as David Bach and Nick Binger failed to decide a winner. They will return on day 38 to play it out for the bracelet and the $400k first prize.

This year's WSOP championships has been a fantastic spectacle so far and I can't wait for day 38, the start of the Main Event, to commence. I really enjoyed Jonathan Duhamel's victory last year as I had been following his progress closely and he didn't disappoint. Hopefully this year's bracelet winners will be worthy champions- I can't wait for the real action to commence!
