Nothing happens – you see lots of people insist on wearing sunglasses in a windowless room, some cards and chips moving around a table, and occasionally someone being banished with a sullen look on their face, because they no longer have any chips in front of them at that particular time. I was there for a couple of days with a friend, and being a fan of poker, thought it would be fun to check out a high stakes game there. I realised this when I found myself in the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas a few years ago. As a spectator sport, poker traditionally isn’t the most engaging thing to watch.
