Other activities included drinking and betting on football, sliding down a huge tower, enjoying a special dinner and competing during the VIP beer pong party.
Currently, there are a handful of tables in action with many more likely to come as the day turns into the evening. Yesterday's early action included 2012 EPT Grand Final Main Event runner-up and current comedian Lucille Cailly.
