Daniel Negreanu is standing behind the dealer trying to get the players to move over. He is counting inches, move over just a little more, there . . . that's better. He is sitting back down now that he is happy and has more room.
This $5,000 event is the World Championship of Pot-Limit Hold-Em, and the loaded field reflects that. Just about every table makes you stop and count the famous faces. Here are some other names playing today:
John Juanda, David "Devilfish" Ulliott, T.J. Cloutier, Scotty Nguyen, Phil Laak, and Andy Bloch.
We thought for a second that Chris "Jesus" Ferguson had been eliminated, but no. He just walked to the rail and back again. He's sitting next to Todd Brunson.
