Re: WSOP Main Event Player Profiles: Ryan Elson Ryan Elson from Canton, Ohio has an amazing story... he's playing in his first live tournament... ever. Elson and his brother got together with some friends and started a poker league home game. Each player put up $500 and the winner would get $10,000 for a buy-in to the WSOP main event plus a few bucks for travel expenses. Ryan Elson won his seat and is representing his poker league back in Canton. Several family members and friends are here on the rail cheering him on. As of now, Elson is among the final 29 players in the biggest tournament in the world. That's an impressive feat considering that he's playing in his first ever real tournament. His friend Steve was quick to point out, "Hey wait a minute. My basement is a real tournament!" From a friend's basement to the final four tables at the WSOP. Ryan Elson is on a magical ride and hoping to make the final table.

Re: WSOP Main Event ReDraw Time After starting the day with thirty-six players, we are now down to the last twenty-seven. A redraw is taking place, and players have been instructed that this is not a break, though it will take a few minutes to get it all organized. As stated, we are playing down to the final table today, so just eighteen more eliminations until we call it a day. How long will it take? Some are estimating it to be done by dinner, others are calling for 5am. All we know for sure is that it took two and a half hours to eliminate nine players.
