Dealers: Ready
In the interests of efficiency the large ten-seater tables have been set up so that at each end is a dealer and side by side along the long parts sit pairs of heads-up contenders facing off. It does look like they're about to start a Casino Employees heads-up event though.
They're yet to know who their first opponents are to be, though - registration is being kept open until the last possible moment at 5pm - but then "instantaneous computerised random draw" will have their names up on the screens. Sounds advanced.
