The July 4th holiday is over and today we expect a much bigger crowd for Day 1c then the previous two. Before the start of the day, players were being stacked up by security behind the ropes and just about every table was staffed. This will definitely be the biggest field of the Main Event start ups and there will be plenty of action. Congressional champion of online poker, U.S. Representative Barney Frank addressed the crowd and issued the traditional “Shuffle up and deal”.
In the good news of the day, “Miami” John Cernuto is back in the Amazon Room after spending several days in the hospital with some serious health issues. He seems to be back to his old self, holding court over the table and joking with Tom McEvoy. Many other members of Team Full Tilt are making the Main Event appearance including Howard Lederer, John Juanda, Lee Watkinson, David Singer, and 2008 Final Table player Kelly Kim.
There was speculation around the room about the size of today’s field considering a lot of online pros generally spend their Sunday taking on the big online tournaments but some of those big names are in the field today including Eric “Rizen” Lynch. We won’t have the exact number of entrants until well into the evening but there is a chance we’ll hit the magic 2,000 player number.
More to come later in the day including pictures from Day 1b. A handful of Full Tilt pros including Fabrice Soulier (87,725), Mike Matusow (37,875), Chris Ferguson, (24,050), and Erik Seidel (18,550). Those players will return on Tuesday for Day 2a.

2009 World Series of Poker – “Miami” John Cernuto update
Posted by AlCantHang | Filed under Bloggers on the Rail
![ev 16imm 1793 impdi web1 2009 World Series of Poker Miami John Cernuto update](/poker-from-the-rail/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/ev-16imm_1793-impdi-web1.jpg "\\"Miami\\" John Cernuto at the 2009 World Series of Poker")
As many in the poker world are already aware, “Miami” John Cernuto collapsed yesterday while playing in the $2,500 Razz event. According to several sources, Cernuto was in the middle of a hand (all babies per the rumor) when he fell to the floor. Eli Elezra jumped to his aid and the tournament room was quickly emptied. There are varying version of what was wrong but “Miami” John contacted World Series of Poker Media Director Nolan Dalla to inform everyone that he was still alive and kicking.
Full Tilt blogger Michael Craig wrote about the experience from his perspective, he was in the middle of the tournament himself and on his way to Day 3.
His medical concerns will keep him away from the Amazon Room for awhile but we wish him the best and a speedy recovery.

2009 World Series of Poker – Week 2 in Pictures
Posted by AlCantHang | Filed under Bloggers on the Rail
We’ve put another week of the 2009 World Series of Poker in the books with more craziness. The crowds continue to storm the hallways of the Amazon Room looking for a table and a chance. The crazies are starting to make their way onto the scene, pros and amateurs are mingling together with a common goal, chip runners stay busy 24 hours a day.
While all this is going on, the good folks at Image Masters continue to provide us with some great action shots during the tournaments. Every morning I receive pictures from the day before that I use to enhance the stories I try to bring the readers. I hope they’ve added to the experience.
Today I bring you some photos from Week 2 of the 2009 World Series of Poker without my ramblings. A small taste of what we have available, look for a full gallery coming in the next few days. All pictures courtesy of Image Masters.

Heads Up: John Cernuto Versus Niki Jedlicka
Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Heads Up
Welcome back to another round of the Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Challenge, where we take 64 of our top pros and pit them against one another in a Mortal Kombat style showdown. OK, so nobody gets killed, but you get the idea. This week’s match is the second of our six seed versus 11 seed showdowns, as John “May or may not be from Miami” Cernuto takes on Niki “I shouldn’t have switched screen names” Jedlicka. This should be a good match folks, as we have an established vet taking on one of poker’s young guns. One quick note before we get started, today’s match will be a slightly abridged version of what we normally do, as I’m feeling lazy today and could only be bothered with seven categories, not the usual nine. Without further ado:
