Almost Set to Go
The players are all in their seats, but we're not quite ready just yet. They're being mic'd up and shown how to use the hole card cameras on the table, and there are still a few forms to fill out and administrative tasks to check off the list.
Ty Stewart is tableside right now thanking and congratulating the players and telling them about the $1 million freeroll National Championship in May to which they've each earned a seat.
In a few minutes, the nine of them will be whisked off the stage so that they can be properly introduced and escorted to the table with the cameras rolling.
We expect to be under way in 15 minutes or so.
