We've seen plenty of extra curricular gaming on players' mobile devices occurring this afternoon and evening. In addition to the popular Chinese Poker game, we've also seen Angry Birds, Words With Friends, and even Farmville.
Carlos Mortensen is presently sitting to Phil Laak's left, and between the two of them sitting on the table's outer edge is an iPad. As hands are being dealt, they are currently engaged in a game of Heads Up Hold'em.
In Heads Up Hold'em, the match is just getting started. With the blinds 40/80 and what looks like 5,000 chips in play between them, Mortensen has a slight edge, ahead by about 200.
Meanwhile, in that other tournament -- the one with the $1.15 million-plus first prize -- Laak has the advantage with about 53,000 to Mortensen's 27,000.
