Almost all of the players have arrived to the table. Play is set to begin in just a few minutes as the tournament staff has just brought over a pair of scissors and begun opening the chip bags. As chip leader Roy Bhasin's chip bag was opened, almost a third of his chips piled over the rail and fell onto the floor. Abel Cabrera just arrived a few minutes late and we'll begin shortly.
