Welcome Back Mr. Kaplan

It looks like a new table is currently forming after the late arrival of Gabe Kaplan and Hasan Habib. Players have been pulled from other tables to rebalance and some of the lucky movers to the new table included John Juanda, Dan Shak and Jason Gray.

We're currently at 89 registrations, with a few big names yet to arrive. We might just get to the 100-player mark.
