Part Time Security Guard?

With so much talent in this event, it's no surprise that spectators are packed 3 or 4 deep outside the ropes trying to catch a glimpse of the action. Flash photography, which is prohibited inside the Amazon Room, has become a bit of a problem prompting a tournament director to make the following announcement..."Just a reminder that there is to be no flash photography inside the tournament room...anyone who uses flash photography will be escorted out by security." Immediately after this announcement was made, "Kid Poker" Daniel Negreanu loudly chirped "Ya!..Or I'll Come Get Ya!"
