A Journey Through the Amazon

The sounds of Cirque Du Soleil drums and thin layer of smoke coat the Amazon room, as preparations for the One Drop are under way. The One Drop kicks off at 1:11 PM today and it has the whole poker world talking. However the One Drop is not the only event going on today. Overflow from Event 54: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em covers three rooms; the Brasilia, the Pavilion, and the wild Amazon.

Play is moving quite fast with six tables already being broken in the Amazon room and those players being scattered around the complex.

Here are a few familiar faces we noticed while taking a stroll around the Amazon.
