The fans are again out in force here in the green section of the Amazon Room as they gather on the rail to catch a glimpse of their favorite poker stars in action.
Recently Shannon Elizabeth was spotted posing for photos for some fans on the rail, and currently the "Prince of Poker," Scotty Nguyen, is chatting to some fans on the rail and posing for some happy snaps.
These players are playing for a lot of money and the glory of a WSOP bracelet, so it's always great to see them take some time out for the fans.
A lot more is at stake here today than just a $1,485,200 prize pool and a gold bracelet. Bragging rights are also on the line. This is the first $10,000 buy-in stud event in World Series of Poker history. Every one of these players would love to make history.
Also, for the hard-core poker players in the field, winning a World Championship in a game other than Texas hold'em would be a testament to their skill as an overall poker player. A lot of strong players remain in today’s field. It should be interesting to see who makes it through this field and makes the final table of this event.
