The 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event attracted 897 players for Day 1a and a total of 985 players took their seats on Day 1b. These numbers are less than last year’s but no doubt there will be larger participation in the remaining two starting days.

Taking a break from the 2011 World Series of Poker tournaments, where he has managed to cash out twice so far, Team Titan’s Marvin Rettenmaier headed across town to the Golden Nugget to play the Main Event of its 2011 Grand Poker Series.

Hi, I’m Marvin Rettenmaier from Team Titan, reporting on my experiences following the WPT Vienna. We drove back to the hotel and its 4pm now. I just woke up and wrote this, Marko and I are going to grab some dinner shortly and then we are going to the Montesino since the High Roller event starts at 5pm. I am not quite sure if I should play it yet, due to my cold and the tough field, but I think I will probably play it anyway.
