Defending Pot-Limit Hold'em champion Allen Cunningham
Event #1, the World Championship Pot-Limit Hold'em contest, gets under way on Friday at Noon and is a 3 day tournament. The Pot-Limit Hold'em defending champion, Allen Cunningham, collected $487,287 after outlasting a field of 398 players. A major difference in the 2008 championship is the doubling of the buy-in from the $5,000 in 2007 to $10,000 in this year's event. All levels will last 60 minutes and players will begin with $20,000 in play money.
