Setting the Scene
The poker room is absolutely jam packed, full of players, spectators, tournament supervisors, and various members of the media. Amidst all of the chaos, a line has formed leading up to a table at the top of the stairs where Gus Hansen is stationed, signing autographs and posing for pictures with star-struck poker fans.
At the moment, it's practically impossible to walk through the alley that divides the poker room in two. A house band is blasting rock music throughout the halls of the Las Vegas Room and albeit a cliche, there is genuine excitement in the air.
Play was scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m., but judging by the scene on the floor, it's looking like we probably won't get started until 1:00 p.m. or shortly after.
Hang tight! We'll keep you posted. -
