11 left in the 10k Stud8. Just on a break.

Norman Chad the only player hovering around the tables. Understandable, as he has 27k with 5k antes, 5k bring in and limits 20/40k. The dealer asks Norman, "Hey, Norm. If I deal it so you outlast Ted [Forrest, on 26k], can I get a shout out?"

The dealer on the other table chirps "Seems only fair"

Norm pipes "What are you? His lawyer?!"

[Tal]

Jeff Lisandro just doing an interview for some media bod. Nothing intrusive. Just a couple of stock questions ("How are you feeling today?" "Going for bracelet number five today?") and smiley stock responses ("Yeah, excited. Hopefully get a little bit of luck").

Have to wonder what the point of all of that was.

Lisandro building towerz (with a Zed) after a couple of scoops, including one against an imaginatively coiffeured George Danzer:



Short at the sides, long on top and right down the back. Somewhere between a mullet and a Mohawk: I give you the Mullhawk.

[Tal]

Tannoy over the Amazon Room, seven minutes in to the DC event:

"All dealers in the Dealer's Choice: please note that there are no antes in limit draw games"

Incredible.

Meanwhile, Danzer wins a big pot with a seven high straight. Lisandro has been moved after Ted Forrest is the eleventh man to depart. Norman Chad heads to the payout room a hand later. Lisandro bizarrely told to the sit in the wrong seat by the TD and only gets to the correct place after protesting in his polite yet transparently clear tone. Danzer then picks up a monster pot and knocks two out in the process.

Down to seven.

Nilawina has some random fish on his right. Huckleberry somethingorother.

I would take a photo but he's in some crummy gooner shirt and I like my camera.

Urgh, hashtags and 'gissa' from someone whose language choices are usually so delicious. Get him back from the States before he starts wishing everyone a nice day, and telling us all that things be how they be

Bubblicious time in the 3k NLHE. 118 left. 117 paid. Updaters, tournament officials and shortstacks are patrolling the tables with varying levels of alacrity.

No one's suggested a saver, yet...

Elsewhere, the Tannoy TD reminds the dealers in the Dealer's Choice event that five card draw is pot limit. What would Clancy make of this?
