Have you soaked that tick in uranium or something? It looks dangerous.

I think it's a DX tick.

How many left guys?

111

Not this time - 109 - there is currently a redraw!  They are going to hand out all new cards and then they musical chair it all at the same time...I'm getting the hell out of the way.

TY TY & TY

Just don't look directly at it... or use the sunglasses provided.  Hi there!  You want to know what's really dangerous (what a segue)?  What's being shown on the Weirdest TV Channel in the World - we've moved on from that Makeover show to something involving bad animals - I think you can make out the crocodile-head-grab in the second one...  Just killing some time until the players reseat, you understand...

Want to see what 109 players taking thousands of chips a few feet left or right to sit next to new players looks like?  This:

Awesome. Is like kitty when she knows it's squishy food feeding time.

Board =

Abraham Mosseri bets 50k and Mateyboy (who I believe may be Paul Lee) calls.

River =

Both players check.

Mateyboy shows , Abraham looks disgusted.

"I'd like to see his hand," requests Mateyboy.

Abraham holds onto his cards, seemingly bamboozled by the call on the Turn.

The dealer then takes the cards and turns over .

"Why have you turned over my cards," asks Abraham.

"Because he requested it," replies the dealer.

"He can't ask to see my hand."

"If he calls in a live pot he can."

"But it was checked."

"Same applies, he made the last check."

[Djinn]

The Boatmen - Barny (top) who this level "had to make a nasty laydown - Queens preflop.  He showed kings, but I lost a few chips..."
"Better than losing all of them?" I offer.  He tacitly agrees.

And Ross (bottom) who has been a short stack for a good half of today (pictured with 80k), but is still, emphatically, not out.

[Djinn]

With 105 players left, the relaxed atmosphere belies the fact that we're almost at the bubble...

Anyone know how many chips are in play?

[DrPauly]

There are currently 105 players. We're five players from the money bubble bursting but all the attention in the Fontana Room  at the Bellagio is focused on Phil Hellmuth. Forty minutes after his bad beat, the Poker Brat is still fuming.

"I'm playing for $4 million and history," he screamed at Shawn Bucahanon. "This motherfuckin' kid just bluffed off 200K to the best player in the world! Nice play, genius! There's no way you are going to last the day."

That was some of the nicer things that Hellmuth said to the chap. At one point Hellmuth pointed to me and said, "Make sure you post that hand on the internet."

The always gracious Phil Hellmuth took his beat like a real man.

Humberto responds to the recent Phil Hellmuth streaking incident that occurred an hour or two back.
