"So which is your table of death?" asked Jesse May. as I stood poised at ringside, notepad in hand. A quick glance around, and there was no obvious answer - each table had a sprinkling of foreboding figures, but none were swamped. Downstairs, however, I stumbled upon a table that wasn't necessarily awash with the biggest names in poker, but, collectively, boasted an impressive CV.
Jason Mercier (bracelet winner - in Omaha, might I add)
Sorel Mizzi (second in last year's event)
Peter Jepsen (EPT winner)
Christer Johansson (Irish Open champ)
Michael Binger (bracelet winner and Main Event finalist)
