The Oasis
Saturday, July 4, 2009 - Gene Bromberg
As you might expect it gets a bit crowded in the Rio during the Main Event. You’ve got almost 2,000, hundreds of spectators, hundreds more floor/media people milling about…it’s a zoo. And you’re trying to relax and play world-class poker for millions in prize money. Easier said than done.
Well, for players who qualified through UltimateBet there’s a quiet place set aside that DOES make that easier. If you walk a few feet past the main Players Entrance to the Amazon Room there’s a suite festooned with the Phil Hellmuth logo where players can stop in, get something to eat and drink (a godsend when the lines at the Poker Kitchen can extend out the door) and escape the whiny bad-beat stories in the halls.
So during your breaks stop in, get something to eat, have something cool to drink, and plop down on one of the leather sofas. It’s quiet, serene, restful. A place to escape the unwashed masses and recharge your mental batteries before returning to the fray.
