There are a few tough spots in the ballroom and Table 40 will probably be happy when it breaks. They have two tough spots to get through in 2015 WPT World Champion Asher Conniff and Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member Stewart Newman.

That table will not last very long before disbursing its occupants elsewhere. The pace is quick at the beginning and they’ve lost enough players to break five tables in the first 30 minutes.
