Niveau 1 : 75/150, 0 ante

Among the early highlights is Barny Boatman's stack which has seen a significant boost. But that was topped by some action that recently unfolded involving Iraj Parvizi.

First off was a minor pot with Fred Goff III, who finished 223rd in last year's World Series of Poker Main Event. Goff raised to 350 from the cutoff and Parvizi called in the small blind. The board of was checked through entirely and Goff won the pot with .

But right after, Goff made it 300 to go and Parvizi three-bet to 1,600 on the button. Victor Cianelli four-bet to 4,100 in the small blind and Parvizi was the only caller. On the flop, both players checked. Cianelli bet the turn for 7,000 and Parvizi called before Cianelli's bet of 12,000 on the river seemingly shut down the action.

However, Parvizi announced a raise and put in 19,000, which was then turned into a mandatory min-raise to 24,000. Cianelli quickly moved all in for more than that and Parvizi asked for a count. Cianelli's all-in was for 32,850 and, after the 24,000 were pulled in from both players, Parvizi gave it one minute of consideration and folded.

In the very next hand, Parvizi lost another 2,000 when his ended up second-best to an opponent's and the stack of the Brit melted to just 11,000.

As for Cianelli, he finished 78th in the 2013 WSOP Main Event for a career-best score of $ 84,786 and is set for another deep run in the most prestigious tournament of the year.

Niveau 1 : 75/150, 0 ante

It's Day 1a of the Main Event and while 11 a.m. is early for most poker players, there will be plenty of familiar faces up and ready to go.

Among those is Jonathan Little and Steven van Zadelhoff. The two pros have taken their seats in Amazon Gold and look to get a head start on the 48th Annual World Series of Poker.

Little has already gotten off to a fast start this series with five cashes, including a ninth-place finish in Event #43: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em for $21,360. He has yet to capture his first WSOP bracelet, but has amassed over $6.5 million in earnings and will certainly keep trying.

Van Zadelhoff has booked two cashes so far and looks to add to his $1.4 million in earnings by locking up a win in Las Vegas to add a gold bracelet to his handful of wins from Prague, France, Spain, and his home country of the Netherlands.
