My little brother has just made it through day 1 :)

2 days off now and then hes back on Wednesday, not doing as well as he hoped but still has enough chips to do well if the cards fall for him
If he makes it to the end of Day 3 then thats roughly when the money starts.

A lot of big names have crashed on day one, so for a rank amateur who won his place & travel he's doing OK :D

I find 2 7 off suit wins for me!
 
Is it being televised?

Not this early as there are 5000 starting places, He is playing the "Main Event" also known as The World Championship NL Texas Hold'em


He plays for fun of an evening online but over the last year or so it has become a lot more serious as he has been winning big pots - As he won his entry stake ($10,000) + travel ($2000) he decided to go and fulfil a dream.

Good luck to him, the main event is the Poker equivalent of a Lottery though...you've got to be very lucky to get anywhere in it as well as being good.

I played for quite some time, I even played professionally for a while but couldn't live with the stress or the lifestyle (it's quite an antisocial sport). I do miss playing though.
