Set in an imagined future, it depicts an exaggerated version of the United States in which all citizens are made equal by various artificial means. For example, intelligent people are made to wear headphones that play distracting noises every so often so as to make it more difficult for them to think continuously.
The announcements from the other side of the room are continuing quite loudly, and there's something about the scene that recalls the Vonnegut story. Players are redoubling their efforts, though, concentrating intently on the chips, cards, and what their opponents' are saying.
James St. Hilaire still holds the chip lead with about 2.3 million, with Faraz Jaka next with a little over 2 million. Alex Venovski is on the short stack at the moment with 420,000.

The PA is quite loud, and indeed a couple of the players over on our side of the room are asking about the possibility of moving to another room, which may or may not happen (it is still being discussed).
Amid the noise, Matt Hawrilenko just put in a raise before the flop, Robert Kay reraised to 160,000 from the button, and Hawrilenko called. The flop came a provocative
. Hawrilenko checked, Kay bet 140,000, and Hawrilenko asked Kay how much he had behind.Kay had to answer more than once to be heard -- about 1.1 million and change, he said.
Hawrilenko then reraised to 340,000. Kay thought about it for a couple of minutes, while three or four more celebs were being introduced, then folded, patting the felt and telling Hawrilenko he'd played a good hand.
