Images from the 2005 World Series of Poker - Game #42 (Day 1a)
This afternoon I dropped by the 2005 World Series of Poker for the first session (1a) of Game #42. There were somewhere between 1,800 to 2,000 people at the tables when the game started at 11am. I was told they would be playing until there were 666 people left which was estimated to take until around 2:30 - 3:00 AM. Session (1b) takes place tomorrow and I will be playing in game (1c) on Saturday.
I searched the crowded tables looking for a few familiar faces and with the help of the ESPN camera crews, I found a few of the tables where some of the better well known poker players were working on building up their chip stacks.
I used this occasion to try out my new Nikon D2X, but with the restriction of "no flash photography", I did my best to capture the images below:

You got some terrific pics, Jeff, even without the flash. So much color (and so many 'colorful' folks)...really, what a montage!
Hey...who is Blues Brother Guy (pic #6)? Didn't know Elwood played poker! ;-)
