10:35p With a $2.8m stack compared to 350k/275k stacks, Devls is looking like he should be a shoe win for the $1,050 ticket... But since this isn't the straight shot, that's why we watch the game play out.

10:31p Don't know how else to say that, but the 2nd big stack just tired to play chicken with the big stack and got ran over big time. Zomb2e is out in 4th.

7:32p I'm a little perplexed at some of the play going on at my table, blinds are $700/$1,400 but when someone raises they only make it $2,999? Just a piece more than minimum.

7:27p As we approach the final 100 players of the first WBCOOP event, folks who were happy to share who they write for are now tight lipped. Makes me think more and more of these bloggers are poker players in disguise... Here's to the final 100 Cheers!

7:22p One thing I just noticed, the Spring Championships of Online Poker that the Blogger tour prizes are for, is acronymed as SCOOP. Mmmnnn, two scoops! :)

7:16p AND Pocket Jacks hold, as I have a personal satisfaction in knowing I was able to take out a PokerStars SuperNova player... HH below as per normal :)

6:50p Sorry for the lack of updates, the game is getting slower and less stuff to blog... just went up in levels to $400/$800 with a $100 ante. Just about to make the 3rd break of this event.

6:39p More from the mailbag we go... As always, keep them coming to support@myusapoker.com

Q: Everyone I ask has a favorite poker player, I was wondering who yours is?

A: Hmm, honestly, I don't have a favorite player, I don't think. I got many I like, whether it be their own style, or themselves personally and how they carry themselves. One of those in the like category has to be Daniel. From just the go with the flow, easy flowing personality, but a sharp as a tack poker player, especially in reading another player, is something I strive to be able to do myself, on both the personality and reading ability. Now, if Daniel could trust his reads and FOLD, he'd be golden :)

6:21p WE BROKE TWITTER!!! I love it, the WBCOOP has taken TWITTER DOWN :)

6:14p Back to the mailbag we go.. as always support@myusapoker.com to ask your question.

Q: When's the first time you played poker?

A: If your meaning any poker, that would be "Las Vegas Poker and Blackjack" game from the Intellivision, that had 5 card draw, 5 card stud and 7 card stud. The game of hold'em I didn't come to until a lot later.

Q: How do I get in this game?

A: Today's game is too late, but for the rest of the events, if you write a blog, go over to pokerstars.com (or click the blog graphic below, and fill out the form)... Hope to see you at the table.

More Q&A later :)

5:48p Back to that mailbag...

Q: So does this mean your not going to Los Angeles?

A: No, this is a great week sponsored by Pokerstars, to which I plan to use to be ready for the Invitational.

Q: I'm new to your site from your tweets today, what is this Invitational I see mentioned?

A: Welcome aboard, I hope you stay here all week (and beyond). The Celebrity Invitational is the only World Poker Tour event each year that brings the best of Hollywood with the best of poker in one game. Usually, average joes don't ever get to be anywhere near that game, as you can't just buy in to the event. I however, have won a winner-take-all event the WPT put on this last December to earn myself a spot at the tournament in February. Read below when you got time, and you'll see it all. Again welcome!

5:45p Since it's been quiet, lets get to the mailbag... support@myusapoker.com to join in the questions, but first a hand just came in from pocket 2s... here's the HH

9) cparsley $3,640

4:54p Last hand of the first hour of play was, let's just say it brutal. Folded around to Peggy she brings it in for $240. I fold on the K-5, Bambino calls and Amber re-raises to $560 (which is a mistake I believe, due to not being a big enough raise). Turbo, Peggy and Bambino call the small raise.

The flop comes K-5-2 all of hearts, check around to Bambino who to his credit doesn't slow play it but comes out for $2,240, Amber pushes and it gets all-in.

Amber: A-A

Bambino: Ah-7h

That's why I said the re-raise preflop was too little. HH below.

4:51p As for my own play, I've got a few small pots but not much to mention myself so far. Been more fun getting to know others here on the opening day. Watching a hand currently that Amber brought in for a min raise and He3 right afterwords re-raised for 3x more. Amber calls to a flop on 5c-10h-Kd. He3 checks and Amber checks behind. Turn of a six brings $680 from He3 and a call. River pairs the 10, and He3 bets $1,440. Amber sits, and folds it away... HH below

Fuel saying he's got Quads can be taken from foolish, to beautiful to throw some folks off. At the same time, after Fuel won on the river, danie came to his cheering section, erasing some of my bad thoughts of him.

4:26p The new player, Joan2124 is from La Vega. Thoughts on the hand below, danibetis has been pushing from the start with anything, and more than one player at the table has been pointing out his constant bullying. With the flush draw on the flop, just glad he didn't suck out.

4:25p Finally a double up and vs the one who's been pushing "danibetis" Hand history is below

3:40p Yes, we are live and rocking here for the first day of the World Blogger Championships, presented by Pokerstars (mmmnnn Pokerstars logo on the chest, wouldn't that be a great site at the Invitational), but I digress. The field currently has 1,635 bloggers waiting to go as of 3:42pm, and the field looks like a who's who of the bloggo-sphere, from Kansas City to London. Beverly Hills to Kharkov. There are also two Pokerstars logos in the field, I'm assuming those are Pokerstars bloggers in the field.

Anything you'd like to know during today (or anytime during the week, shoot us a line at support@myusapoker.com as we'll be monitoring it and answering live here during the games this week.
