The Amazon Room
With just 124 players remaining in the field, the atmosphere is electric. Railbirds are backed up five and six rows deep, standing on chairs and peering over shoulders, trying to catch a glimpse of the heart-wrenching action taking place just a few feet beyond the ropes.
Each announcement of, "All in and call!" draws a flock of spectators, cameramen, and reporters alike. The scene is perhaps most comparable to a golf gallery after a Tiger Woods drive misses the fairway and finds a home beyond the ropes in the rough.
The tension is mounting with every elimination, as the remaining players in the field realize they're that much closer to making poker history.
