Electric Atmosphere at the Final Table

Right now, it feels more like a European football match in here than a poker tournament, with each player's entourage cheering wildly as their man is introduced to the crowd. Kelly Kim's supporters are holding signs bearing messages like 'You Can Do It Kelly!" while Peter Eastgate's are all dressed in identical black t-shirts with yellow stars that say "It's in the Stars!" Ivan Demidov's fans are dressed in Russian costumes, complete with military hats and are waving their country's flag.

And of course, there are the "Phillipians" nearly 300-strong, all wearing Cardinals hats and screaming for their man from the stands, the orchestra section, the balcony... really wherever they can fit.
