The Lighter Side of the Tournament

Bellagio Tournament Director Jack McClelland (left) and WPT Commentator Mike Sexton may not have a lot of chips, but they’re still having a good time. Very few people have seen as many WPT final tables as they have, with Sexton a fixture in the booth since Season I, while McClelland has announced more WPT final tables than any other tournament director.

The Royal Flush Girls use some of their downtime today to do some impromptu hairstyling for one of their own, Katrina Topacio, while Ali Eslami (foreground, right) takes a cellphone picture from his nearby table. The "stylists," from left to right: Melanie Iglesias, Jennifer Haley, and Michelle Banzer.
