Several people have pointed out that one table seemed to require a shaved head in order to play there. From left to right, Daniel Buzgon, Phil Collins, and James Dempsey chat with WPT Live Updates Hostess Jessica Welman.
WPT Season VI Player of the Year Jonathan Little (center) is flanked by two players who are near the points lead in this year’s POY race.
Will "The Thrill" Failla (left) has been in the lead since WPT Legends of Poker back in August, but lost it last tournament when Joe Serock passed him with his second third-place finish. Failla is second in points, and can retake the lead if he finishes 8th or higher here.
Fred Goldberg (right) is tied for fourth in the POY race, and can catch Serock if he makes the televised WPT Final Table (6th or higher).
Other top-five POY players in the field who can catch Serock include Vitor Coelho (7th or higher) and James Dempsey (6th or higher).
Michelle Lawson (top right) has an excellent vantage point for watching her husband Ted (left) as he plays Day 1A seated alongside Allen Kessler (center) and David Diaz (right).
