Quite a formidable field shaping up here.

At one table we find Vanessa Rousso and Erick Lindgren sitting across from one another. Walk across the room and there's Ludovic Lacay, Isaac Haxton, and David "Bakes" Baker, sitting in a row at Table 14. And a couple of tables over from them Justin Bonomo, Alex Gomes, and Joe Cada were playing three-handed for much of the first level. The remaining three players have arrived to join that trio -- Eric Froehlich, Erik Cajelais, and a sixth player looking like he has sat in more comfortable chairs in his life.
