Some of the railbirds are snapping photos. For the ones doing it with flash, the tournament staff and broadcast crew have been regularly making "No flash photography, please!" announcements.
Some other notables within viewing distance are Jonathan "FatalError" Aguiar and Thayer "THAY3R" Rasmussen who are playing in a €550 side event. Alessio Isaia is hanging out in the cash-game section playing some.
