Fighting for Elbow Room

Table #2
Table #2
The ESPN TV table may attract the lion’s share of spectators but that doesn’t mean a lot of attention isn’t paid to the feature table located just outside the Milwaukee’s Best Light Lounge. There’s a big (and often rowdy) crowd standing along the length of the rail and peering down from the bar section of the lounge.

And the area within the ropes is a bit crowded as well, even accounting for the eight players sitting around the table. There are three cameramen recording the action, two sound technicians, two ESPN producers, two photographers, a floorman, our field reporter, and a partridge in a pear tree. Though that last one is only rumored.
