"This is What I Came Here For!"
Jason Somerville, who jumped into the action after doing the announcements at the start, has gotten an amazing response from all the players who gathered here today, and he himself is stoked about the turnout of this event already.
"This is amazing, to get over 100 players for the opening event on a Tuesday afternoon," Somerville said, as he was the 103rd player to register.
We followed Somerville to his table, and it was clear that everyone was excited to get a chance to play against him.
"You're playing with us?" the lady at Table 24 said with a sigh of excitement and fear, as Jason Somerville took his seat in the opening event.
"Rigged!" one of the other players yelled.
"This is Merry Christmas for you guys," Somerville smiled, "Because I'm planning to re-enter at least six times."
"This is what I came here for, to get busted by Jason," Jeff Jansen said, sporting a Run it Up hoodie and a Green Bay Packers hat.
"I think I've got an advantage, because I know his tendencies from watching him play every day!" Jansen smiled.
"I've only started playing poker in January and watched Jason for part of every day when he was streaming," Jansen added.
