Keeping the Crowd Entertained

2007 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Jerry Yang just addressed the crowd with an enthusiastic "Hello, poker players!" Flanked by four Las Vegas showgirls in powder blue costumes, Yang thanked everyone in the audience for turning out today to support the nine players who made the final table.

It's organized chaos on the stage right now. Still photographers are wandering around, taking shots of the table and the players; close friends and family of the November Nine are taking their seats in the gallery around the table; print and online media members are furiously tapping out stories; and a phalanx of Harrah's employees are trying to keep things simultaneously under control and moving on towards the actual poker.
