All Right, Who's Here?

You probably have a good idea who some of the faces are in the field right now. About half of the players are in their chairs, and we expect to see the rest of the high-rolling flock trickle in over the course of the next three hours.

So here's what we can see from our perch on the media tower. Dan Shak is sitting in the one seat at the far left table. He's got Dan "djk123" Kelly on his left, followed by Dario Minieri, Scott Seiver, Greg Raymer, and Jen Harman.

Across the way we found Steve Sung, Scott Clements, and Jason Mecier all sharing space on the same felt.

Another tough table -- okay, they're all tough tables here, but this one might be the toughest in the room -- has Brian Townsend, Alex Kostritsyn, Daniel Alaei, Ted Forrest and Mike Matusow seated together and chatting vigorously. Sorel Mizzi also joined that table a few minutes late, and now Erick Lindgren is sitting down as we speak. We can hear Mike Matusow's voice from here: "Yes! All the internet fish are at this table!"

With those last two additions, Table 327 is now officially the Table of Doom.

More to come...
