Alcano just walked up to the table to start warming up.
are they starting now?
Barry is doing raffles now. Both players look like they're ready to play.
Barry says that the players deserve 100k instead of 40k. He can't do it himself, but he suggested that as soon as next year they may be playing for 100k!
Both players are now going to warm up and then we'll be in action probably at the top of the hour.
I'm soo sleepy, but woke up at 7am to be able to look at the scores....
Ronnie said he's ready to go. Mika is gonna run 1 more rack and then we'll be ready to start.
Ronnie wins the lag.
Here we go!
