Although many of those qualifiers are expected to join in the fun on Day 1b Thursday, PokerNews caught up with 60-year-old UK qualifier Peter Smyth, who is playing today, to chat a little about the experience, and how he ended up in a bit of a Pokerstars Pro sandwich.
This latest feature is entitled UK Qualifier Living The Dream at PokerStars Festival New Jersey.
