See You Next Year
For the last six weeks, the Amazon Room has been the center of the poker universe. Thousands of poker players (and staff, and media, and spectators) filled this cavernous space nearly to the rafters. At times, there were six tournaments going on at the same time, with a long line of players waiting to get into the cash games as well.
Five days deep into the biggest event in poker, the Amazon Room is returning to nature, so to speak. As the field was whittled down on Day Three and housed under one roof, the tables were broken so that they condensed around the Milwaukee's Best Light stage, and that meant that the most of the Orange and Blue sections would no longer be needed. So, as the tables were broken in the tournament they were literally broken as well--the leather rails removed, the legs folded up, and the tables stacked like cordwood.
