Daydreaming

Noon really is 6:00am in the poker world. The initial buzz of excitement in the Amazon Room has worn off a bit now as the players have been stagnant in their chairs for just over an hour. In the green and blue sections, a big contagious yawn just swept through the tables like a parade as dozens of players unwittingly caught it in sleepy succession. Joe Bartholdi is rubbing his temples with his eyes half-open, and even the bubbly Bill Chen looks a little drowsy with his head propped up in one hand.

The cocktail servers are swishing around the room with trays full of coffee and Red Bull, and we hope a solid dose of caffeine will bring some life into this room before too long.
