Boarding Passes, Please

A huge throng of players have just entered the Poker King Club with seat tickets in hand. It's almost like a scene from an airport, where the staff have just announced a new group of flyers can now board the plane. There's still a healthy queue of folks waiting for their seats too, so even though the tournament screens currently say 72 entries, the actual figure is much higher.

There are some recognisable faces among the throng. Malaysia's Victor Chong has just sat down, fresh from his sixth-place finish in the High Roller for HK$220,000. The blue hair of Raiden Kan has also caught attention, as has the return of Xixiang Luo, who busted yesterday and is back for another shot.
