Fewer Players, More Energy

We reported earlier that things have certainly been quiet here in the Amazon room. However, in the last thirty minutes or so, things have really picked up. Chatter is now a constant at almost every table and it's been a nice replacement to the always dull sound of chips shuffling between fingers.

This is a huge improvement over earlier today, yet we're not sure exactly what caused it.

Maybe it's because of all the eliminations thus far, or maybe it was Phil Hellmuth's grand entry earlier.
