Conditions have become more challenging on media row.
As if playing in a high-profile, high-stakes poker tournament isn't nerve-wracking enough, the players now have to contend with the elements as well. What can only be described as a "funk" has invaded the entirety of the Crown Poker Room. The funk smells vaguely of a mix of rotting cheese, eggs that have been left in the sun for three days, and various unpleasant human body odors. Many a nose has been wrinkled, and several players have pulled their shirts up over their noses to try to block the funk out.
The source of the funk has not yet been determined but the tournament staff are working overtime to figure it out and eliminate it.
