Scotty Nguyen just arrived, taking a seat between Men Nguyen and Mickey Appleman. Eric Froehlich and Josh Arieh are also at that table.
Alex Kravchenko has just been moved to an empty seat at that fearsome Table No. 15. Quite a crowd of players from other events, a dealer or two, and photographers forming around that one.

Over at John Juanda's table, a player raised pot preflop, and Juanda and one other player called the raise. All three checked all of the way to the river, and all three ended up showing "A-Q-x-x" to chop the pot.
"Whoa, you guys play bad," joked Juanda.
