Welcome to Day 1 of the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship

It's the one everyone has been waiting for, the $10,000 Stud event might not be the biggest event of the series but it's certainly one of the most prestigious and will feature a high volume of pros all looking to take down that bracelet that Men Nguyen won last year when he beat Brandon Adams heads up.

With the Pavilion room still teeming with players in the $1,000 event today, the Stud players will be over in the far corner taking up areas usually reserved for satellites. 150 players played last year and we're expecting similar numbers again when this event starts in about 20 minutes or so.

Slowly They Arrive

Livello 1 : 200/400, 50 ante

There's 70 players on the board at the moment but we're expecting that number to go up quite significantly as we head through the first four levels since the blinds are so low.

Like a Buss

Livello 1 : 200/400, 50 ante

Buss: {3-Diamonds} {3-Spades} / {A-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {K-Spades} {4-Clubs} / {K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {x-} {x-} / {9-Hearts} {8-Spades} {3-Clubs} {4-Hearts} / {Q-Hearts}

Jerry Buss completed the opening with the ace before his opponent raised. Buss made the call and then fired out on fourth and fifth street before sixth went check-check.

On seventh, the dealer accidentally exposed Buss' {K-Diamonds} face up meaning that the floor ruled that the other player's card had to be dealt face up as. The action then proceeded and both players checked, Buss flipped his threes in the hole and took down the pot with kings up.
