A Few Fun Tables

As expected, the field is littered with big names, and it's making for some tough tables around the room.

Right in front of our media desk is a table full of trouble with Steve O'Dwyer, Matt Graham, Dwyte Pilgrim, Eric Froehlich, and latecomer Tom Marchese.

In the middle of the floor, there is a table with Noah Schwartz, Marc Naalden, Freddy Deeb, and Anthony Roux.

Table 305 might be the early frontrunner for Table of Death. It seats Amnon Filippi, Justin Bonomo, Joe Hachem, Vitaly Lunkin, David Benefield, and Kevin Saul. As we were scratching down names, Christian Harder came and joined the fun, making that the toughest table in town. "Oh great! Another fish!" someone said as he sat down.

Adjacent to them sits a table with Pierre Neuville, Carlos Mortensen, Sandra Naujoks, and Amit Makhija all right in a row.

What they're all chasing
What they're all chasing

Today should be an exciting one at the WSOP for fans and railbirds as a slew of poker's heavy hitters are expected to descend on the Rio this afternoon for the $10,000 World Championship Pot-Limit Hold'em event. Last year, London's John Kabbaj topped a 275-player field to come away with his first WSOP bracelet, defeating a highly skilled final table that included the likes of Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin, Kirill Gerasimov, Isaac Haxton, Davidi Kitai, Jason Lester, Eugene Todd, and J.C. Alvarado.

So sit back, relax, re-check your WSOP fanstasy team standings and get ready. Action will kick off at 5 p.m. in the Amazon Room. We'll see you there!
