We're just a few hours away from the start of the third event of Season 2 of the Blogger Poker Tour. It seems as if we'll have a good showing for this third BPT event, as we're sitting with 74 bloggers registered and three hours remaining.

30 minutes to go time
With 30 minutes remaining until we shuffle up and deal, we're sitting with 92 bloggers registered for this tournament. While I typically like to follow the host's table and report on it, it seems as if either the host is not yet present, or I've misidentified the host. Hopefully, he will surface shortly.
