The players just resumed play and with them safely behind the ropes and tucked in their seats, the spectators were allowed in. They poured through the doors at the opposite end of the room and those wanting to get the choicest seats around the ESPN TV table started walking, then walking faster, then jogging, until the Amazon Room looked like the starting line of the Boston Marathon.

"No running!" floorman Chris Spears barked into the microphone as poker fans young and old hustled to the stage. But the pace slowed and we didn't see a mob scene at the entrance of the final table stage.
