Hush Hush

The tournament area has been rather quiet right from the start of play today. It is a bit warm in the room, which may have been partially to blame for the lack of conversation and energy in the room.

Returning from dinner though, a true hush has fallen over the players. There are very few conversations taking place around the room, as most players stare blankly at the table or fiddle away with some miscellaneous hand-held electronic device. There is only the occasional plea to the dealer and the background noise of chips being absent-mindedly shuffled. Maybe it's the after-dinner coma to blame. Or perhaps the players are simply ready to get down to the business at hand now.
