Inaugural WSOPE Winner Right Next Door to Runner Up

On neighbouring tables sit John Tabatabai and Annette Obrestad, who were last seen in such close poker proximity when heads up on the final table of the £10,000 WSOPE Main Event in 2007. Obrestad won the bracelet, breaking all sorts of records, but Tabatabai has clearly been practising, as this January he just took down the $5,000 Heads Up Championship title at the Aussie Millions. It would be interesting to see them play on the same table once again here in Monte Carlo, but there's a lot of table shuffling which needs to happen before that's likely - won't hold my breath until Day Three.
