SCHOOL'S BACK IN SESSION

"I'm not going to pay you until you're back in your seats and you are quiet," those the words from poker official Deb Daly, as she pleads for order over the Event Center microphone.

Forty two players are as giddy as children on the school playground after punching their tickets into the Main Event by winning the ACT 2 (1 in 5 players qualify) tournament.

The notable qualifiers include Tuan Gheban and Manny Patel. One other player stops by media row and says, "make sure you let people know that I won ACT 1 and was down to 425 chips in ACT 2, but I'm going to the show!" And before we can get his name, he's gone.

Players have the option of playing in Saturday's Day 1A or Sunday's Day 1B.

The excitement and tension continues to build as the Main Event is less than 12 hours away.
