The Action So Far

Most of the outer tables are surprisingly quiet, letting Brad Garret and Annie Duke, seated at the feature table, play to the cameras and the crowd. Garrett seems to be in his element and Duke, to her credit, is making herself out to be an excellent foil.

Fairly surprising that there is no chatter between Kenny Tran and Antonio Esfandiari, and so far not a peep out of the ever-talkative Phil Laak. Laak did just run over to the rail for a quick word with an attractive woman who was not Jen Tilly. It looked like he gave her some money, presumably to get him something to eat or drink.

We're just unhappy that he sent her out of the room.
