The WSOP Main Event is the highest buy-in tournament most of this amateur-heavy field has or ever will play and many of these first-timers have their own rituals for getting their energy and focus up. We've seen grown men splayed on the floor in yoga stretches, others running in place and shadow-boxing, and dozens of players jamming to their iPods behind their hats and sunglasses as their starting tables come together.

And, of course, almost everyone seems hell-bent on getting that perfect shot of the Amazon Room on their cell phone cameras.
