Both matches are still fairly tight.
Orel Hershiser got some quality camera time and has now been replaced by Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, who is happily sharing his thoughts with the television audience.
Even Annie Duke cracked a smile at that one.
Up front, the Prince of Poker, Scotty Nguyen, is first out of the gate against Erik Seidel. But the players started this round with 106 big blinds. Each match is far from decided.
"I'm playing with Erik Seidel. With no cocktail, I can't play with Erik Seidel," he said to the floor, who promptly left in search of a beer for the Prince of Poker.
A few minutes later a cocktail waitress appeared and set a bottle of O'Doul's down on Nguyen's side table. "Now we play the game, baby," said Nguyen after taking a long pull.
One interesting note at the beginning of this match. Scotty seems to have given up on the "near beer" he was drinking yesterday and is armed with just a bottle of water as he begins his match with Seidel.
