There are three tables situated over in the old Blue section of the Amazon room, all feature tables where ESPN is doing extensive shooting.

Lamb's stern look cracked for a moment at the sight of the reraise as he smiled and chuckled. The smile soon disappeared though as he sank into thought for another three minutes. Meanwhile Selbst stared straight ahead at the community cards, motionless throughout.
