Table of Imminent Doom

The addition of Peter Eastgate to Table 7 has made it easily the toughest table in town. Check it out:

Seat 2: Julien Brecard
Seat 3: Peter Eastgate
Seat 5: Dario Minieri
Seat 6: Vanessa Rousso

That's three Team PokerStars Pros and one PokerStars Sponsored Player, if you're scoring at home. Eastgate, it should noted, is looking unusually chipper this morning. Gloria Balding just noticed: "Oh my god, he's smiling!... Look, he's still smiling!" With Joe Cada having taken over Eastgate's role as WSOP Champion last week, it seems possible that Eastgate is a little more relaxed now that the heavy weight now rests on someone else's shoulders.

"He's talkative too! Look at him, he's chatting it up over there!"

It should also be noted that Eastgate walked in wearing a Team PokerStars Pro United States patch. And that the PokerStars staff is scurrying around like lemmings trying to find a Nordics patch to replace it with.
