This is just a quick post to highlight a table that we just saw for Event No. 18 - $5,000 No-Limit 2-7 Draw w/ Rebuys. Of course, by now we know that the most obscure games draw the most stacked fields and if you add in the rebuy element to the game, you get all of the poker players' poker players. Pro upon pro upon pro, just chatting like some old boys (and girls) club.

Listing all of the big names out in the field would be a little ridiculous and, honestly, too much effort for us right now. However, as an example of what this field is like, we'll share one particular table with you:

Seat 1: Greg Raymer
Seat 2: Mike "The Mouth" Matusow
seat 3: Roland de Wolfe
Seat 4: Jon "PearlJammer" Turner
Seat 5: Lee Watkinson
Seat 6: Tom "DonkeyBomber" Schneider
Seat 7: Empty

Ironically, a Harrah's/WSOP PR intern just handed us a list of "Notable Players" for this event. It consisted of eight players and none of the players from the table we just listed. At least someone's lazier than we are.

There's a lot of banter going on at the "Table of Death," including Matusow asking to be moved somewhere else. Unfortunately, the table next to him features Freddy Deeb, Tom "durrrr" Dwan, Robert Mizrachi and Layne Flack, so there's no relief over there.

No players at that table are shown on our "Notable Players" list either.
