Just moments before the players were allowed into the playing area, tournament director Thoams Gimie read a passage of work from French Poet and Dramatist, Edmond Rostand, for the more than 50 dealers working today. For five minutes Gimie gave an empathetic and heartfelt performance, culminating in a massive roar of applause from the already seated dealers.
Everyone is more than ready to get this party started. The start is just a few minutes out.
