While James Hamburger's novelty glasses are for fun and laughs, his eyes may have looked like that, after seeing his aces-full were no good in a three-way all-in at the WSOP Circuit Main.

We are all spoiled as players here in South Florida, with the abundance of different poker rooms, all that host different tournaments.  Outside of this event, there is also another multi running in the area, and it's pretty special.  The WSOP Circuit Main Event got underway this afternoon, with it's $1,700 buy-in, and $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.  Now that tournament is not for everyone, as recreational players usually can't just shell out $1,700 for a tournament at-will.  There are other players that can comfortably play both the WSOP Circuit Main Event, and this $150 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD) event, once of which joined the action moments ago.

James Hamburger took a pretty brutal beat in Level 1 of the WSOP Circuit Main Event, as his A♠ A♣ fell on a board of J♠ 4♥ 4♦ A♥ x.  The three-way all-in on the turn would see James up against J♣ J♦ (a player who flopped jacks-full), and 4♠ 4♣ (someone who flopped quads), which left Hamburger searching for a one-outer on the river.  Unfortunately for James, the miracle river never arrived, and he'd choose to bypass spending another $1,700.  He took the quick drive to the Isle Casino Pompano Park, and is now hoping to bag chips  for Monday's Day 2.
