All Eyes On You

And full throat, for that matter. On several occasions today, sections of the rail have erupted with massive celebrations at the sight of a big pot or a lucky river card. And now, we've moved up to the gorgeous main stage where our final nine players are grinding it out front and center under the bright lights. There are now well over 100 people packed into the spectators seats, including a host of dealers, cocktail servers, previously-eliminated players, and casino personnel who are just as thrilled about this tournament as the players are.
Speaking of the players, there's also a side event taking place down on the main floor of the auditorium, a $5,000-buy-in game that's drawn an impressive fifty runners. The only problem is that they're not really interested in playing poker anymore. There is a television screen down on the floor broadcasting our main final table, and it's really crippling the action as all in attendance are glued to the picture during and in between hands.
From what we can tell, it sure seems that this area is poised for major tournament poker.
