Emptiness

The Penn & Teller Theatre here at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino is almost completely empty now. The Joe Cada clan seems to be the only strong group still left to support their players, but that could be becuase they are all very young and vibrant.

The stage is about half as full as it was when Phil Ivey was around and almost all of the big names have vanished. Phil Hellmuth is still here hoping to see his student Jeff Shulman come back from the short stack and make it further.
