Traditionell wurde die 44. World Series of Poker (WSOP) 2013 mit dem $500 Casino Angestellten Event 2013 eröffnet. 898 Angestellte aus Casinos in aller Welt fanden sich ein und generierten einen Preispool von $404.100. Die 90 Geldränge sind bereits erreicht, 55 Spieler gehen in Tag 2.
Es ist das Event, bei dem alle, die normalerweise auf der anderen Seite des Tisches sitzen, ihren Auftritt haben. Casinoangestellte aus der ganzen Welt, aber vor allem aus den USA finden sich alljährlich zu diesem Turnier ein. Mit 898 Teilnehmern in diesem Jahr sind es auch deutlich mehr als die 732 vom letzten Jahr.
Das Event hat eine recht schnelle Struktur und so wurden auch bereits an Tag 1 die 90 Geldränge erreicht. Bis zum Ende des Tages nach Level elf war das Feld bereits auf 55 Spieler geschrumpft. Die Führung hat Michael Trivett, wenn es heute in den zweiten und finalen Tag geht. Alle 55 haben bereits $1.325 sicher. Der Sieger darf sich auf das Bracelet und $84.915 freuen.
