Faces in the Crowd

During our initial walk-through of the floor we've spotted notable pros Dan Harrington, Jeff Lisandro, Layne Flack, Danny Wong, Roy Winston, Rep Porter, John Monnette and Shaun Deeb.

Of note, Lisandro, Flack and Winston are all sitting at table 8, though Tournament Director Jack McClelland let them know they'd be the first table to break. Lisandro found his seat a few minutes after the cards were in the air, and as he sat down, Flack took notice:

"Ha ha, ha ha. Yum, yum," he joked.

The early player count is 73, though tournament organizers expect that number to double -- maybe even triple -- tomorrow afternoon when the players in flight Day 1b take to the felt.
