WSOP Day 1C Filled With Stars And Pros in The Amazon Room

As the days go on here at the World Series of Poker's main event, more and more professionals are taking their seats, and the number of participants in growing larger each day.

On Sunday, there was expected to be close to 1700 players and that will be followed by perhaps the biggest of day ones on Monday.

Jose Canseco was in the field of Sunday, and he had a roller coaster of a day, he doubled up early, but then was sent packing later in the day, and was followed by ESPN camera crews as he exited the tournament.

One of the worst beats of the tournament also happened on day 1C. Player A held pocket aces, player B pocket 8's. The flop came A-7-2, all different suits. Player A hits his set of aces with a rainbow flop and figures he's good, he bets, gets raised, raises all in and gets called instantly. The turn and the river both come 8's and player one loses the hand with a full house to four of a kind. The odds of that playing out like that were nearly 1000-1.

The table to avoid on the day was table 66, which had four pros playing at it. Chris Ferguson, Ishak Noyan, Melissa Hayden, and 2002 WSOP champion Robert Varkonyi were all playing at the table.

On Monday, the last of the day ones will begin and 1D is expected to bring the largest amount of players of all the first days.
