The word on the street is that the Main Event has sold out, capped at 400 runners. Those already registered represent 32 countries, and there is a whole hoard of press here from around the world as well. Before the cards have even gone in the air, it's become evident that this area of the world is ready for serious tournament poker.
We're still just about an hour away from our scheduled starting time, and the staff is hard at work preparing the tournament room for play. The field will begin with 20,000 starting chips and we'll play 60-minute levels. In short, it's going to be a long three days.
Sit tight, we'll be back with the 'shuffle up and deal' shortly!
