A Smashing Success

"Massive" cannot begin to describe the scope of the event that's shaping up today here at the Venetian. Global Live Events Head Jeffrey Haas confirmed just after Jason Alexander called "Shuffle up and deal!" that more than 850 players were registered for the tournament. Given that the tournament was only announced six weeks ago, that is a staggering number.

We're slowly making our way across the acres of poker tables in a search for familiar faces. Some players are straggling in late, of course, but hopefully we won't miss anybody (we've definitely spotted Marco Traniello, to whom we apologize profusely *again* about that whole thing in San Remo where we didn't spot you until Day 2.)

We've already seen one 10-hand penalty meted out to a player who inadvertently exposed his hand on the turn, thinking that he was already at showdown. A floor supervisor was summoned to the table.

"Unfortunately, sir, you're on a 10-hand penalty. The good news is that you won the pot."
