Because the field is so massive, the tournament is being spread over three locations at the moment. One of them is the Choctaw Ballroom where Senovio Ramirez III, Spencer "Tex" Hudson and Gus Voelzel are seated.
Upstairs in the poker room there are four tables being used and we spotted Justin "lockdownpokah" Allen grinding at one of them.
