The Other Thunder Dome

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

It's hard to find noteworthy action in a field of this size, but we do notice the chatter as we walk in between the tables.

There was a large rumble of thunder here inside the Pavilion a few minutes ago, and word is spreading on Twitter about a downpour outside. We've seen a few players dash out the door to catch a peek, while nearly everyone else inside the room is talking about this first shower of the 2011 WSOP. It's doing good work knocking down some of the smoke from nearby wildfires that's been hanging in the Las Vegas air today.
