Quiet Please!!

There are two tournaments going on at the same time in the orange section. One is this $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo World Championship and the other is the $1,500 NL Event. The difference between the two is like night and day. The Omaha event is relatively quiet as we are in the early levels. Other than some chatter, and Mike Matusow, all you really hear is the sounds of chips riffling.

The NL event is a different beast. Every few minutes you hear some random outburst or yell as someone takes a bad beat or catches their miracle outdraw on the river.

Also, we noticed that the cap and sunglasses ratio of the NL event vs the Omaha event is 3:1.

The Mouth Talks Strategy

Mike Matusow hasn't wasted any time in talking things up on his table. He was recently overheard talking to John Cernuto about tournament strategy.

"Not everyone is you or me when it comes to tournaments!" - words of wisdom from "The Mouth".

More Big Names; Table of Death!

Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu and Gus Hansen have all recently taken their seats in today's field.

Hansen has drawn a particularly tough table featuring Amnon Filippi, Men "The Master" Nguyen (who busted out of Event #35, Seven-Card Stud, about 20 minutes ago--just in time to play a little Omaha), Carlos Mortensen, Richard Ashby, Max Pescatori and Gary Benson.

More Names

Other names that have been spotted are Thor Hansen, Jeff Madsen, Robert Mizrachi, Chris Reslock, Frankie O'Dell, Jimmy Fricke, Chau Giang, Jennifer Tilly, and Justin Bonomo.

Today's Field

We've in the orange section of the Amazon Room today and on our first lap we've already spotted the likes of Alexander Kostritsyn, David Benyamine, David Sklansky, Jeff Lisandro, Lee Watkinson, Greg Raymer, Brad Booth, Barry Greenstein, Michael Mizrachi, Scott Clements, Mel Judah and Shannon Elizabeth.

This will be a very high quality field.
