Sympathetic to the long hours that players, floor staff, and media are putting in for the Series, Johnny Chan has just handed out a bunch of cans of his new "All In" energy drink.

It actually tastes great, with citrus tang, and will hopefully get us through to 2 a.m.!

As If The Field Isn't Hard Enough

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

In a field dominated by professional players, there is one table that stands out from the rest. Current players at table 7 are:

Barry Greenstein
Chip Reese
Scotty Nguyen
Thor Hansen
Andy Black
Freddy Deeb

To note, both Freddy Deeb and Chip Reese are bracelet holders of the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event. The question is, do any of these players need Barry Greenstein's book if they eliminate him?
