Room of Death

The last group of players to register often end up at the same table. And many of the tour's seasoned pros like to wait until the last minute to register. That can result in some seriously tough table draws. Usually those starting tables aren't a big deal since they're the first to break, but with so many alternates waiting for a seat today, it could be awhile before any tables break. Three new tables were just added in a small room down the hall from the main tournament area. It's crammed with some of the biggest names on the roster.

One table looks more like a Team PokerStars Pro sit-n-go than an open tournament. With Johannes Strassmann, Johnny Lodden, and Noah Boeken, a third of the table is sporting Team Pro patches. Another Team Pro, Marcel Luske is one table over.

The last table to be set up was playing four-handed when we last checked. Bruno Fitoussi, Sandra Naujoks, and Melanie Weisner were playing with one unknown tablemate. Weisner just arrived from LA this morning after deciding to play less than 24 hours ago. "It'll be a great story if I win," she said.
