There was just an all-in and call at Table 204. Which attracted the following list of observers who quickly surrounded the players:

2 cameramen
2 boom mikes that criss-crossed the table
7 reporters/producers
2 floormen

And that's a scene that will be repeated over and over the rest of the day.

A Good Time To Pick Up Kings

[user37786]

Not that there's ever a bad time to hold pocket Kings (well, unless someone has pocket Aces...never mind) but after a player with pocket Jacks moved in for his last 30K a player with pocket Tens called. Joe Brandenburg looked down at Cowboys and raised to 120K. That was enough to set the player with Tens all-in, and after the board ran out Q-5-3-8-2, Brandenburg sent two players to the rail and increased his stack to 260,000.
