It's a relatively quiet crowd in attendance, although the occasional times there has been post-flop action those who are here are making some noise. A rough count of heads suggests something approaching 300 here following the action in the so-called "mothership."
All ten of the players appear to have supporters in attendance, although most hands are only being punctuated by light clapping.
Phil Collins' crew of supporters have been the most vocal by far, their cheers consistently punctuated by snatches of his pop star namesake's hits. And we did hear some baa-a-a-ing following a recent hand won by Ben Lamb.
Looking around the arena, we see that Andrey Pateychuk, eliminated in 15th not too long ago, has stuck around to support his friend Anton Makievskyi. There's a number of other familiar faces from the summer in the crowd as well, including Nenad Medic, Mike Matusow, David Williams, Jean-Robert Bellande, Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler, James Bord, Brent Hanks, Dan O'Brien, Erick Lindgren, David Vamplew, Jon "PearlJammer" Turner, John Duthie, Keith Ferrera, Humberto and Roberto Brenes, and the Main Event-crushing couple, David "Doc" Sands and Erika Moutinho.
