Tough Table

Without a doubt, the toughest starting draw in the room has to be Table 174. Seated in a row at that table are: Al "Sugar Bear" Barbieri, Benjamin King, and Jan von Halle. It could be a long day for those gentlemen.

Over on 179, in the 1-seat, is an English former heavyweight boxer, Audley Harrison. "Do you still box?" one of the players asked when Harrison arrived to take his seat.

"Yeah, I still box," Harrison replied. "But now I'm all about poker -- fighting on the table."

Harrison is huge, as you would expect for a heavyweight boxer. He might even be taller than Kang, the tallest German in the room.
