Lon McEachern and Norman Chad co-host the 2010 World Series of Poker, presented by Jack Link’s Beef Jerky.

Among those in action: Patrik Antonious at Table 2, and four-time bracelet winner and 2004 player of the year Daniel Negreanu at the feature table. They are joined by a slew of other big names looking for a Main Event moment, including brothers Michael and Robert Mizrachi, Erik Seidel and Annie Duke. In all, nine former champions start the day looking to capture more glory. They include defending champion Joe Cada, Chris Moneymaker, Scotty Nguyen and two-time winner Johnny Chan.
