Who's Here?

It's a giant field here in the upstairs ballroom at the Commerce Casino. We are very slowly making our way from table to table in an effort to figure out who turned up. The tournament has definitely brought the cream of the poker crop. We've made it only through about thirty percent of the room and have already spotted: several members of Team Full Tilt (Chris Ferguson, Erik Seidel, and Allen Cunningham); three Team PokerStars Pros (Alexandre Gomes, Andre Akkari and Daniel Negreanu); the defending LAPC champion, Phil Ivey; a former world champion, Jerry Yang; and several WSOP Main Event final tablists, including Chino Rheem and Paul Wasicka.

We're slowly adding players into the chip counts page as we find them. It may take a bit longer to get them all in.
