Players Take Their Seats, Take Their Time

Although the official Shuffle Up and Deal has been announced without fuss, a lot of the tables are still filling, the players filling their Player Release forms, moving tables when they are in the wrong seat (happens more often than you'd think). It's a who's who of players we've seen on TV, heard commentating, or noticed never leave the house un-logoed. A selection:

On one table - Erick Lindgren, Mickey Wernick, Joe Beevers, Daniel Negreanu, Bruno Fitoussi, Barry Greenstein, in that seat order. Crikey, That's actually the table nearest me - I could actually reach out an arm and knock over any of their stacks from where I am sitting. That would, of course, violate our professional code.

Stephen Pearce, Allen Cunningham
Richard Gryko, Torstein Iversen, Paul Jackson
Jan Sjavik, Andreas Hoivold, Jeff Madsen
Andy Bloch
Doyle Brunson, Max Pescatori, John Juanda, Thor Hansen, Chad Brown
Gary Jones
Greg Howard
Woody Deck
David Benyamine

Basically all of the 70-odd runners seem to be instantly recognizable - it's a small field in which to try to bag a bracelet, but a star-studded one.
