The final table set here at the Rio is setup much like a mini arena. The final table is setup in the middle, slightly raised off the ground with some type of black tile for the flooring. Directly above the table are big screen plasma monitors on every side surrounded by various lighting. You can watch the action on the big screen almost like you can on television, just without being able to see the hole cards.
The seating on three sides of the table is set up stadium style to allow proper viewing for all spectators. On the fourth side, you have desks and seating for the various media outlets that cover the final table events. On one of the spectator sides you also have the Milwaukee's Best No Limit Lounge where players can gather and have a bird's eye view of the final table.
If you ever get a chance to come out to the Rio during the series, stop by and check out one of the featured tables. It is a different experience than watching poker live on tv, but well worth the trip.
