The final Day 1 of the 2010 WSOP is almost over with only two more Day 2s then just single days until we reach the November Nine (hopefully sometime on July 17th).

7,319 Entrants

Now all four Day 1s are almost over we have finally gotten the numbers for the Main Event prize pool. The total prize pool consists of $68,798,600 with first place netting just under $9 million and a min cash (676th-747th) making $19,263.

How to stay warm …

and get the attention of the media at the WSOP? Dario had his now famous scarf, so trying that doesn’t work anymore. We came across these guys in the Pavilion room today wearing snuggies. Not just one, but the entire table were wearing them.

Girls………..

Alright, let’s get down to the important part, the ladies at the tables. I can’t bring the same hype of a porn star massage therapist as I did last night, but I can bring more cleavage. Yesterday we found Lauren Kling sitting in the orange section and watched as she chipped up throughout the day. At the end of the day she bagged up 149,650 which put her in 5th place among the players from day 1c.

Today sitting at one of the corner feature tables we found Vanessa Rousso looking ready to make a push for the final table. She is often looked at as being one of if not the hottest professional poker player around. I’m not going to agree or disagree but I will say that she could definitely improve her choice of clothing and give us some cleavage shots at the minimum.

Now on the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to showing off what she has we have Trishelle Cannatella. She is more famous for being on the Real World: Las Vegas than for her poker abilities, but she is showing off some nice cleavage and is an Absolute Poker sponsored player.
