Crowd Rants and Raves

With the tournament moving along at a snail's pace today, it's given the crowd here plenty of time to pick and choose players they'd like to root for. Though the ESPN area has lost about half of it's spectators, Michael Banducci and Jeff Williams seem to have many fans still in attendance here to cheer them on.

During the hand where Williams was all in against Peter Gould, Gould's cheering section had fingers crossed and eyes hopeful that his A-J would send Williams to the rail.

After every hand Michael Banducci wins, the crowd directly behind him lets out a, "Take it down, Ducc!" or a "Yeah Ducci!" cheer to keep his spirits high.
