Earlier today several players queued up for single table satellites where the top two places earned a seat to the main event.
Al Williams, a poker player from Clarksdale, MS and Chris Dietsch, one of the dealers in the room here, have both earned a seat into the main event.
Williams says poker is all he does and that he did all the work in the satellite to help Dietsch get his seat.
He stood up and was cheering for Dietsch to win when he was all in with pocket eights against the ace-high of the eventual third-place finisher.

Stuart Breakstone used to travel the circuit to play a lot more poker than he currently does.
He has been a lawyer for 28 years and working as a divorce and custody lawyer.
He says that he had way more time to play poker after the housing crisis since people couldn't afford to get divorced. Nowadays his work is keeping him busier and he only gets to play once in a while.
He is from Memphis, Tennessee and is in the field. He's sitting at a table with RunGood Ambassador Preston McEwen and local legend Connie Rice.
