Less than an hour into the event, the first round is nearly complete. There are just four matches left in play.

November Niner Joshua Beckley is one of those still doing work, matched up against local sports radio host Andy Slater. The two men are almost exactly even in chips.

Beckley is on some kind of heater right now, using the November Nine down time to sharpen his game. He won a WSOP Circuit ring just a few days ago in West Palm Beach, and he’ll be back in Las Vegas in about a month to play for a gold bracelet and $7.7 million in cash.
