With some 42 events already in the books and the Main Event drawing near, it would be all but impossible to overlook how smoothly this WSOP has been run up to this point. From the mostly on-time scheduled starts, to the calculated pausing and resuming of play for breaks, to the efficient consolidation of tables, the tournament directors, dealers and floorpersons in charge here at the Rio, who have an oftentimes "thankless" job--regularly taking blame and seldom receiving credit--deserve a pat on the back for one of the most well run tournaments in recent memory.
