Celeb Fest
First to meet my eye was, naturally, the unmistakable figure of Humberto Brenes, dressed head to toe in the usual colourful attire with golf-like visor perched on head.
Not too far behind was the ever-chatty Daniel 'Minh Ly impressionist extraordinaire' Negreanu, followed by the likes of Roland 'Mr Chinese Poker' de Wolfe, David 'Rock n Roll, baby' Ulliott, Andy 'I look like Robin Williams' Bloch, Scotty 'Yeah, baby!' Nguyen and Phil 'on time for once' Hellmuth.
Possibly the biggest star here, however, is the legend himself (no, not Pauly), Doyle Brunson. Hobbling as always but bearing that instantly recognisable Texan grin, Doyle's being stopped at every available moment to have a photo snapped with an adoring fan or over-zealous journalist. Either way, he may have developed cramp from all the autograph signing he's done over the last few days, which may be the only way his opponents will defeat him today.
