It's remarkably quiet here in the tournament room today, quiet enough to be worth mentioning. There are only 69 players in here, but it sounds like it's 68 librarians plus one Andy Black. The table chatter is virtually non-existent, and the only sounds floating around the room are the chorus of chips being shuffled.
Everyone seems to be relatively wide awake (for poker players), so we'll take this peculiar silence as a sign that the players are intently focused on the task at hand.
