What's Going On?

[user66118]

The mood has lightened considerably since we moved over here to the main arena, and everyone's here having a good time.

There is a group of about a dozen spectators meandering around the table, and nobody seems to mind them just sort of milling about on and off the stage. Shaun Deeb is here serving as a go-between cocktail server for the players, occasionally setting a bottle of water or a Red Bull down on the side tables. He's also holding a scrolling marquis that says, at the moment, "This needs to be on PokerNews". The last message said, "What about Bob?" in honor of emcee and floorman Bob Smith.

The mood is good, and the spirits light, but things are getting a little boring in here. The players just asked to change the game for a little while. "How about a round of PLO?" Frank Kassela suggested. "Shake it up a bit."

Right now, the conversation has switched to the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. tournament which all three of our finalists are also registered in. That event is bagging up for the night on the other side of the room, and our three players are extremely curious to know how many chips they've been whittled down to while they sit over here playing for a bracelet.
