Rail Call

Jeffrey Carris has easily the biggest cheering section sweating him here today. Along with a few supporters on the ground level, about 10-15 of his buddies are up on top of the lounge that overlooks the table, most of them sipping on various libations and playing a friendly game of cards on the cocktail table. We know they're railing Carris because they're all wearing bright orange T-shirts that say, "The Wildcat Jeff Carris," with a picture of Carris' face on the body of a lion or tiger of some sort.

Also on the rail is Jason Young, but he's not here for Carris. Young won this event last year, taking home more than $325,000 and his first gold bracelet. Young's roommate, Joseph Cutler, is looking to bring a second bracelet into the house today with a win in the same event. Young is joined by Eddie Sabat, Dwyte Pilgrim, Mike "GoLeafsGoEh" Leah, and a few other recognizable faces in support of Cutler.

Jason Somerville also has a large section of supporters, and people keep coming up to the media desk from all over the room to ask how he's doing. Off and on, we've seen people like Vivek Rajkumar, "ActionJeff" Garza, and Adam Junglen cheering loudly for Somerville. It's nice to see such a large peanut gallery here for this $1,500 event.
