Almost Set to Go

The seat draw for today's event was done in an unusual but effective manner. When the players paid their buy-in, they were instructed to wait in the auditorium before receiving their seat assignments. As the scheduled start time came and went, the 201 registered players crowded around the tables elbow to elbow. Finally, the big TV screen in the back corner came to life, displaying the starting seat draw for the entire field.

They're taking their seats now, and the cards should be flying in just a couple more minutes.
