First, Kevin, great idea. In fact, they should have a ceremonial draw for the final seat position just before sitting down. Second, in reading the mini-mini bios, I just have to ask the question. What does it take to be called a "professional poker player"? Does someone just declare that it is his occupation? It just seemed that there are so many "pros" out of the remaining 27, and I wondered what the criteria is. Two things. First, Kevin, great idea.

Helps add a bit of strategy and randomness into the event.
