Turbulence in the Tent

For those of you who aren't familiar with the Las Vegas climate, here's a brief overview:

3/4's of the year, the weather is absolutely perfect. The other 1/4 accounts for the months of June, July and August, when the temperatures reach unbearable heights. Sure, it's a dry heat - but let me be the first to tell you, 115 degrees still feels like 115 degrees, dry, humid or however else you want to classify it.

The only other issue we have with weather is the wind. Approximately 1 out of every 7 days we experience gusts of wind in the 30-40 mph range; unfortunately for those playing poker here in the Player's Pavilion this afternoon, it's one of those days.

The wind has been wreaking havoc on the rafters and plastic air conditioning tubes that are suspended above the players' heads, sending an uneasy feeling across the room.

The last time we experienced similar conditions, the tournament staff moved everyone into the main poker room as soon as there was enough room to accommodate everyone inside; we'll let you know if they decide to move us again today.
