From the Bleachers

Shamus

While many here at the Rio are preoccupied with the Main Event starting tomorrow, we've nevertheless attracted a decent-sized crowd for today's final table. Several players have supporters here, including Farzad Rouhani, who high-fived a few after doubling up with that rivered flush a short while ago.

Rouhani is seeking his second WSOP bracelet this summer, having won Event No. 10, the $2,500 Omaha/Seven Card Stud Hi-Low-8 or Better event.
