Table #37 is definitely one to keep an eye. It is currently the home to Xuan Liu, Michael Tureniec, Mike "Sir Watts" Watson, Ami Barer, Max Silver and Jake Cody.
Barer and Tureniec seem to be faring the better of the six, having almost doubled their starting stacks.
British pro Jack Salter, fresh from winning more than $1 million from a second place finish in the European Poker Tour Grand Final, looks to be leading this event here in Las Vegas with a stack of 52,000 chips.
Salter's nemesis that day was Antonio Buonanno, who is seated directly in front of the media desk on Table #1 with 19,000.
We've also clapped eyes on the German sensation Ole Schemion, who has dropped around 3,000 of his starting stack and currently has 12,000 chips in front of him.
