Imagine you've come to your first ever World Series of Poker Main Event. Nervous and excited, you check your registration card for your seat assignment, and after making your way through the throng of other hopefuls, you arrive to your table to see a sheet of paper resting in the center: "PLEASE PROCEED TO FEATURE SIDE TABLE."

Such was the case for the nine arriving at Blue Table #30 today. "Do we just leave our stuff here?" asked one player. No, came the reply. You better take that with you. "What about this?" The player held up the complimentary seat cushion provided to each player. Don't worry, came the answer. You'll probably have one over there, too.

Those who'd been scheduled for Blue #30 will be finding 2008 WSOP Champion Peter Eastgate over there as one of their tablemates. As if they weren't already nervous.

Meanwhile, it appears Erick Lindgren will be at the other "main" feature table to start the day. As usual, our access to those two tables will be somewhat limited today, but we'll nonetheless try to provide periodic updates from those tables.
