Table 1 is seated right in front of the PokerNews media desk and it's a tough one. In Seat 1 is bracelet winner Chris Lee. Seat 3 is one of the current big stacks in the tournament, Linglin Zeng.
Well-known top pro Amit Makhija just took his seat right next to Zeng, on her left. Matt Matros is one to Makhija's left and way over in Seat 8 is Adam Levy.
It should be an interesting table the last four hours and one that we'll be able to keep an eye on with its close proximity to our desk.
