Shuffle Up and Deal!

[user22113]

Players are in their seats, announcements have been made, Annie Duke has said the magic words, and cards are in the air!

Today all the players were in their seats, ready and waiting to begin. In contrast to the beginning of the previous days events, the room is unusually calm. Players are smiling and joking around the room. Some look a bit droopy eyed, probably from staying up too late.
