Among those in the audience today are Erick Lindgren, Gavin Smith, and Allen Kessler. John Phan just stopped by to shout some encouragement to Chris Bell. Mike Sexton��s cheering section includes Linda Johnson and Sexton's brother Tom, a PokerNews columnist. Humberto Brenes was here earlier (and almost got run over by the boom camera), as was Noah Boeken.

Not A Good Time

After his elimination, Mike Sowers shook hands with everyone at the table and then headed for the door. ESPN is conducting interviews with players as they're eliminated, and as a powerful spotlight turned on and the cameraman moved into position, a producer intercepted Sowers before he cleared the area. Most people wouldn't be in an especially chatty mood after being busted from a World Series final table, and that seemed to be the case with Sowers. He and the producer spoke for a few seconds, Sowers continued on his way out the door, and the spotlight clicked off and slowly faded to darkness.
