Running at nearly full capacity, the upstairs area of the Empire Casino is also temporary home to quite a few well-known players, from the established, e.g., Allen Cunningham, to the young internet players just starting to make their mark on the live scene, e.g., Stephen Chidwick, to those who fit somewhere in between the two, like last year's runner up John Tabatabai, European rankings leader Nik Persaud, James Akenhead and Sorel Mizzi.

Cards have been shuffled and dealt, but there are quite a few stragglers wandering in. One young English player just reached the boundaries of the balcony, failed to find Table 17, and proceeded to shout, in early frustration, "How come nobody in this casino knows where Table 17 is?!" Beware latecomers - such confusion awaits those who show up late and miss the announcements about the locations of the tables, which seem to have been numbered almost at random.
