A Loaded Table

Brett Murray's voice was heard as he was walking towards Table 13. The nine-seat was vacant at the time, though Murray was headed in that direction with a receipt to match it. He found himself at a table with two players he knows quite well, with friends Alex Greenblatt and Ian Steinman already at the table. Though the trio of players from Northern California have been friends for years, they get to go to battle against one another at the felt on Day 1b here inside the Thunder Valley Poker Room.

Another player who registered just after the first break of the day was Farhad Sinaei, who has taken his seat at the same table as the likes of Billy Le, Traci Brown, and Careen Foster.
