There's a fantastic atmosphere here on the floor of the $15k NLH 8-Handed with players getting the chance to catch up after a busy summer of poker, but some will be happier with their start than others.
German crusher Sirzat Hissou currently heads the chip counts with a stack of 438,000 holding a decent lead over Thailand's Suparek Totsaponvisad with 362,000. Meanwhile, Alejandro Lococo, fresh off his recent exploits in the cash streets has made the transition to tournament play very nicely, rounding off the podium positions in today's early stages.
With the clock just about to tick over to Level 4, a prize pool of $1.1 million has already been built by the field with 72 entries.
