Some Tables Are Scarier Than Others
They're still pouring into the Pavilion Room, and indeed many of them are pouring back out again almost immediately as early tournament casualties - all of this is happening so fast that the board isn't being updated very frequently, but by the evidence of all the tables that have been broken already and the new faces appearing at the tables that are left, this is quiet, organized carnage.
This game of musical chairs with cards has resulted in few rather interesting tables. Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott has appeared, and following his original table breaking he now finds himself sharing a table with Russian poker powerhouse Vitaly Lunkin. Both of them are above their starting stacks - Lunkin on 4,000 and Devilfish on 5,000 - and in a good position to bully the rest of their hapless table. Meanwhile a few tables away Terrence Chan is engrossed in conversation with young Italian pro Dario Minieri. Minieri, his English much improved since last WSOP, seems only too happy to have made a friend.
