It’s the WSOP Main Event! Everyone is excited about the greatest poker tournament on Earth…until they’re out, that is.

We caught up with some relationship friction at the felt, a terrific reaction to a terrible turn-card, and a couple of legends and their takes on Day 1a of the tournament everyone wants to win.

WILLIAMS WALKS AWAY FROM THE MAIN IN PAIN

David Williams once finished as runner-up in the WSOP Main Event, but he won’t be doing so this year. His $10,000 stack of bills was dusted off quicker than you can say ‘good game, sir’ and ‘nice catch’. Or words to that effect.

CAMPBELL ON TOP IN PLAYER OF THE YEAR RACE

Finally, Australian Robert Campbell didn’t just win his second WSOP bracelet, he also vaulted to the top of the WSOP Player of the Year standings, which you can see in full here.  Can Dan Zack catch Campbell with a deep run in the Main Event?
