We've also spotted a couple of dangerous looking tables out there already. How's this for starting tables...Tony Hachem, Jarrad Dale, Mitchell Carle, Daniel Nielson and Graeme Putt all find themselves seated together, while the table of Kent Hunter, Joe Hachem, Abel Cabrera and Roy Vandersluis is the early nomination for the table of death.
