A few things jump out here:

1) There are no weak tables. Even the table with the satellite qualifier features names such as Jason Koon, Justin Bonomo and Adrian Mateos.

2) Doug Polk and Daniel Negreanu, who DO NOT like each other, will be seated next to each other.

3) Phil Hellmuth and Bill Perkins will be playing at the same time, which should provide for some great banter.

This should be a very entertaining event.
