There was a buzz around the WTOS Arena as reigning World Tournament of Slots champion Stephanie Hall took her seat to kick off her title defense.

Hall would finish around the middle of the pack in her group and told PokerNews "It was hard, I didn't do very well!"

However, she was still beaming as she said, "It was a blast being back up there, everyone seated around me was like, 'Is it good luck or bad luck being next to you?' I said I don't know, but I think it ended up being good luck for them!"
