Encore Boston Harbor has finally reopened its poker room for the first time since the pandemic, which you'd expect would bring about tears of joy from poker players in the area. However, limited hours and seating, along with rake that's going to be tough to beat, has put a damper on the reopening.

Right off the bat, the games filled up with lengthy waitlists.
