As this is New Zealand's largest poker tournament ever, the rail here is really alive. Many players here qualified via satellites and have brought family and friends along to root them on. Others on the rail are here watching some of the big names still left in today's field. As one would suspect, Joe Hachem has a great amount of people watching from just a few feet away from his table.

The drinks are definitely flowing and the crowd is really into the action. Loud cheers can be heard when a fan favorite takes down even the smallest of pots. The Main Event has only just begun and the action is just heating up. The audience is sure in for a great rest of the tournament.
