With such an all-star lineup at what many pros consider the real "main event," it should come as no surprise that there's not an empty seat in the house. The spectators were here early and are squeezed in tight, each trying to catch a glimpse of the best in the world. Each player has their own entourages in the gallery, whose loyalties become more and more obvious as play goes on. Amongst the "courtesy claps" at the end of each hand, pockets of genuine excitement will erupt from various areas when a certain player takes down a pot.
