We're back from dinner break, and the cards are back in the air, but there's been change of plans. Rather than move to the Mothership, we're going to stay at the "secondary" feature table in the Purple Section of the Amazon Room. With the $1 Million Big One for One Drop taking place on Sunday, the cameras are being adjusted in the Mothership, and the stream is temporarily down. So, rather than play without a stream, the final table will resume at a table where fans at home can continue to watch.
