Table Talk
Greg Raymer chips into the conversation and asks Forrest to take a guess at Raymer's current weight since it has never been published. Forrest and Lisandro excitedly try to work out some terms for a prop bet on guessing Raymer's weight, but eventually the negotiations fell through.
The Duke of Poker Has Arrived
Also, it appears that they tried to start the table 9 handed. Of course, that isn't proper in a stud game so the 9th player was put on another table.
More Raymer Prop Bet Talk
Raymer has also requested that unless they take his word on the weight, he'll require a fee to stand on the scales!

Who's the Best According to "The Greek"?
They then proceeded to ask "The Greek" who the best was between Yao Ming, Johnny Chan, and Jackie Chan. Without hesitating Karas said, "Johnny Chan is the best."
Large Crowd on the Rail
Things Seem to Be Changing
You still have your old school stud pro's such as Cyndy Violette, Mickey Appleman and Bill Munley, but in addition there seems to many more younger players in the field. This may be due to the fact that HORSE has become more and more popular amongst players. Another factor maybe be the small field size. The small field size is attractive to the pros looking to either get their first bracelet or to increase their bracelet total.

She said, "There's only like seven tournaments going on at one time" as she gave us a grin.
