Joanna Krupa is Here (Day 1C is Underway)

Play is just underway for Day 1C of the WSOP and former 2006 Wicked Chops Poker Girl of the Year, Joanna Krupa is playing.

So we don't care who else is.

But since some people do, other notables playing include Mark Seif, Steve Dannenmann, TJ Cloutier, Phil Gordon, Jean Robert Bellande, Antonio Esfandiari, Liz Lieu, Tuan Le, Nam Le, Mike Matusow, Carl Olson, Rob Mizrachi, Daniel Negreanu, Mats Rahm, Jen Harman and Mr. Jen Harman.

Obviously Krupa's appearance on Day 1C has nothing to do with winning a bracelet but instead has everything to do with winning back our hearts from Keeley Hazell or whatever organ that is that seems to get excited every time we see Joanna Krupa.

Speaking of which, FOWCP and recent Parting Shot Girl Lacey Jones is also in on the action today as well as future Parting Shot Girl Lynette Chan, who has some seriously wicked poker chops and thinks we're pervs.

4th Streeter and FOWCP Vaughn Sandman is back at the main event, and just as we did last year, we'll keep tabs of his play today.

10 guys with the last name Nguyen are also starting today, as well comedian Louie Anderson and along the same weight, Joe Reitman.

In the sweat department, today we follow Chris "Stump" Abramski of The Chronicles of Stump. Stump won his seat via PartyPoker WSOP Steps. There's not much action at Stump's table during the first level, and it seems it's mostly online players he's up against. He's up to 12k right now.

Yesterday's notables include Allen Cunningham (81,000), David Chiu (45,000), Jeff "Mad Dog" Madsen (31,450) who of course ended with just a bit more than arch-nemisis E-Fro (30,200), Annie Duke (26,000), newly elected Poker HOF'er Billy Baxter (23,000), Mike Caro (23,000), our very own Sweat Jeff Sealey (18,500), Phil Ivey (16,000), and John Juanda (11,500).
