The Miranda Room in Numbers

Oh yes, not content with taking over half the Amazon Room, our $2,000 No Limit Hold'em tournament has spread all the way down the corridor to the almost-as-vast Miranda Room. Among the runners holed up in there for the afternoon or until they bust are these luminaries:

Liya Gerasimova: well ahead on 19,500
Mike Ellis: 5,800, an excellent recovery
David "LeKnave" Jones: 10,000
Jason Mercier (now of course the proud owner of a Diamond rewards card after that little ceremony earlier): 13,500
Adam Levy: 5,000

There is also a remarkable prominence of hats over in the Miranda Room.

Cowboy hats: 3
Baseball caps: average 3 per table, so with 21 tables it's approximately 63
Yellow fisherman hat: 1

Not to mention the dude in the photo. Not really sure what he's dressed up as, but there you go.

There is also a curious aroma of hamster cage as one enters the room, but I would not like to speculate about its origins.
