Wake Up, Mikey... Time to Play Poker

Shhh... he's such an angel when he's sleeping

The turnout has been a little less than robust compared to the lofty expectations that the WPT staff had for this event. Yesterday's 91 players may actually be larger than the Day 1b field which sits at 72 as we speak.

Maybe not though. The word on the street is that another round of Full Tilt Pros may be heading down in the next level or two to join us, with names like Howard Lederer, Patrik Antonius, and John Juanda rumored to be bringing up the rear of the entry line sometime before registration closes at the start of Level 5. There's also at least one more satellite running on the far side of the room as the last few try to lock up their seats in the Main Event.

Mike Matusow is here too, but we're not sure if he has any plans to join us. The Mouth is currently occupying a couch just up the stairs from the tournament room, and our last check-in saw him stretched out horizontally and sleeping like a baby.

Time for poker, Mikey.
