One Minute Past Five

Our scheduled start time has come and gone and a small crowd of photographers and media types has formed around the podium where the Chip Reese trophy is currently displayed as it awaits its new owner. A few players have taken their seats-- we've spotted Jason Mercier, James Van Alstyne, Scott Seiver, Jeffrey Lisandro, Dario Minieri, and Daniel "djk123" Kelly to name a few-- but most tables only have a seat or two occupied at present.

Tournament Director Jack Effel and the legendary Doyle Brunson are about to call "shuffle up and deal."
