Walking around today it has been evident that people have been enjoying their experience here at the HPO Championship Main Event. PokerNews asked a few players their thoughts on their experience here today:

Darryl Fish: "It's a great tournament with a great structure."

Greg Ostrander: "Love it. Only concern I have is getting a ride back to the Strip at the end of the night." (note - we mentioned this to Tournament Director Bill Bruce afterwards and he said "great point" and immediately got on the phone to take care of it)

Jordan Morgan: "I really like it. The structure gives you lots of play and the venue is nice."

Justin Young: "The floor and dealers are great. The people are great. Everyone has such a positive attitude coming in and that's so rare to see at this point in the summer."

Lee Childs: "The one thing I've noticed today is that there have been almost no floor calls. That just doesn't happen. It's everything you'd expect from Bill Bruce and his crew. They make a huge difference. The HPO does the little things that make a huge difference. Things like shout outs to players and thanking players for taking part in the event. Not just professionals either, they do it for everyone. Nobody else does that and it makes you want to play these events."
