We had some lengthy introductory remarks from Tournament Director Jack Effel. He thanked the fans, the players and everyone that's here.

"Without you this would not be possible," said Effel. He also made sure to thank the tournament staff and dealers who work so hard to ensure that everything goes as smoothly as possible.

In addition to the litany of pro forma remarks that Effel makes before the start of each tournament, Effel announced a promotion sponsored by Jack Link's Beef Jerky that will run during the Main Event. Every time a player gets four-of-a-kind jacks, that player will win a Jack Link's prize pack valued at $100.
