Call to Action
It looks like the start of play is going to be delayed for a few minutes. The players have just been called to take their seats but there has been no rush to the tables. I've spotted Haralabos Voulgaris on the stage by the feature table but other players, such as James Bord, are still enjoying a chat out on the terrace near the main poker room.
In fact, there are more potential poker coaches in the room than players. Scott Seiver, Daniel Negreanu, Vanessa Selbst, Liv Boeree, ElkY, Daniel Cates and Tom Marchese are a few of the poker pros here offering advice to the recreational players who'll take part in this event.
