As Greg Mueller was taking his seat here on Day1b, he mentioned that he was tired and didn't really want to be there. "I was up all night playing cash games," Mueller said and then motioned across the large field, as if to note that he couldn't pass up the immense opportunity to participate in this huge field.
We have heard a smattering of complaints from players as many have now waited over an hour to take their seats for the second flight. This will likely also delay seating for the additional "waves" of players that have surrounded the room itching to get in on the action.
These players have all taken their seats, however and are in on the early action.
