Join PokerStars now! The nature of this endeavor, this brave new world in which the video of what we see is streamed to your computer, means that we know things 40 minutes before you do. For instance, we know that within thirty seconds of the start of the $25,000 High Roller final table, Red Bull Robbie Thompson called out over the microphone, “Can we get cocktails to the final table please?” Indeed, we know that fact, and now many more, but we can’t reveal the specifics, or we’ll be fired, and maybe physically removed from the rom. This live coverage of the $25,000 High Roller really puts a crimp in how we work.

Join PokerStars now! It’s a bumper day at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure today with not one but TWO major events getting underway in the tournament room of Atlantis.

Join PokerStars now! Among the sea of Twitter and other assorted social media outpourings from players during a large-scale tournament like this, one in particular jumped out as warranting further investigation. “Moved to the feature table. Got the drunkest Norwegian ever to my left singing ‘lady from Kent’ and telling seat 3 he has tiny teeth.” This was Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree (the one Tweeting, not the drunken Norwegian), who had found herself sat next to a gentleman who had either enjoyed the most fantastic lunch, or who had not even been to bed from the night before.

Join PokerStars now! Dragging yourself out of bed before midday to play poker is hard enough for many poker players, getting up an hour earlier to sit in on a Q&A is harder still but, believe me, it’s worth the effort. At 11am this morning, equipped with 40oz of hot coffee and the flaccid remnants of a chicken Caesar wrap, I entered the Adonis room, feeling pretty far away from being a god of desire as I wiped the sleep from my eyes. Barry Greenstein, Poker Hall of famer, Team PokerStars Pro, high stakes legend, well known beard wearer, was already talking to some twenty-five rapt audience members.

Join PokerStars now! The Super High Rollers were supposed to start at 12 noon but, as hinted at yesterday, these guys aren’t exactly sticklers for prompt starts and an hour ticked by before the stage looked anything like ready; the eight finalists, the floor staff and TV crew waiting patiently for someone somewhere to give them the all clear. While the crowd waited quietly the players were each preparing in their own way. Scott Seiver, Daniel Negreanu and Galen Hall laughed and joked about something, all three of them, and Mike McDonald, upgrading their dress to smart casual today in pressed shirts

Join PokerStars now! The noise is impossible to escape. It combines a constant drone with an occasional an unexpected high-pitched scream that could rip out your insides if you weren’t careful. Before long, it all becomes part of the noise in your head, an omnipresent tinnitus that, with work, can be accepted as something normal.
