A very tan Daniel Negreanu was just getting an impromptu golf lesson from one of the players at his table. The two stood in the aisle, and practiced their swings as the rail snapped photos.

"It's early and it's eight-handed!" Daniel exclaimed. "Cut this field in half and I'll show you some action!"

Where's the Clock?

Several players have commented that there is no visible tournament clock running for this event. The floor people working the tournament are carrying slips of paper with them that indicate when the levels will change.
