Who ISN'T here?

We've spent the last few hours talking about who's here and how they're doing. Let's take a moment and look at some of the notable players who are missing from this elite field.

Lyle Berman - He made the final table of the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event last year but the WPT chairman is nowhere to be found in the Amazon Room.

Erik Seidel - He apologized on Twitter to everyone who picked him in their fantasy pool, but the eight-time bracelet winner is attending one of his children's graduations today.

Gus Hansen - We've heard rumblings that the Great Dane planned to skip this event as he has a rather substantial wager on the French Open.

Patrik Antonius - He's in town and has been golfing with the high-stakes crowd over the last few days but is not playing today.

Minh Ly - "Big Game" regular Ly is nowhere to be found.

Todd Brunson - Big Papa is playing over at Table 58, but his bracelet-winning son is notably absent from this event.

Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy - Though the online contingent is out in force at this event, Bax didn't join them.
