Smoke and Music

The first three days of this event played out in a tucked-away, rather warm back corner of the casino but now that we're down to three tables, the players have been moved out of the shadows and into the middle of the gaming floor. Everyone has a bit more space to move around now, though the air in this part of the casino is rather smoky, with abundant cigarette-smoking going on behind the rail (though it's not permitted at the tables themselves).

Also ever-present is the thump of electronica, which is giving this reporter flashbacks to the WSOP-Europe, where the "untz untz" of dance music poured out of the nightclub next to the tournament area. It doesn't seem to be bothering the players, though, many of whom continue to bop in time to their own tunes flowing through their iPods.
