The rail is still packed here at the Crown Casino Poker Room for this final table. The rail is about 2 or 3 people deep and everyone is craning their necks around each other to get a glimpse of the action. We haven't been up to Studio 3 to see the $100,000 Challenge yet (we have another fantastic team up there), but we're sure it's packed too. Some of the biggest names in poker are playing today.
If you're out and about in Melbourne, stop by the poker room at the Crown and say hi.
