As predicted, play is yet to commence, predominantly due to to the inclusion of a featured table. Stealing the limelight today is Chad Brown's table, which is also shared by San Remo champion Jason Mercier and possible dark horse Stephen Chidwick. Meanwhile, participants on the outer tables are all itching to get going, with players riffling chips incessantly and fidgeting restlessly in their seats. The atmosphere at the moment seems very tense, as the reality of how much dough is up for grabs finally kicks in.
