Getting Close

Word is there is a signifcant line at the registration desk for today's event. Tournament officials do not seem to be in a great hurry to begin the tournament at the moment, so we may be looking at a brief delay before the first hands are dealt.

The board currently shows 193 entrants, though that number should be climbing over the next couple of hours.

Welcome to the Ocho

Shamus

Welcome to Event No. 42, the $2,500 Mixed Game event, a.k.a. the "8-Game" event in which players will be rotating between Deuce-to-Seven Triple Draw, Limit Hold’em, Omaha Hi/Lo Eight-or-Better, Razz, Seven-Card Stud, Seven-Card Stud Hi/Lo Eight-or-Better, No-Limit Hold’em, and Pot-Limit Omaha.

The dealers have arrived here in the back right quadrant of the Brasilia Room and are starting to remove extra chairs from the tables to prepare for the start of tonight's event.

Still about a half-hour until those dealers begin dealing the first hands of Deuce-to-Seven Triple Draw. See you back here at 5 p.m. local time for the start of today's action.
