Anyone notice that Barry and IVey seem to ignore the other players. Eli, Harman and Cunningham are forced to talk with each other while Barry and Ivey have their own personal discussions.

It seems more like Greenstein is shutting out everyone else while Ivey doesn't care what anyone has to say at the table.

And the correct pronunciation of Eli rhymes with Belly. But since Eli comes off as pretty down to earth, i doubt he cares how people pronounce it.

This looked like a bad side of Greenstein, the way he latched onto Ivey for conversation, shutting everyone else out. Later he did the same with Doyle. It was surprising. It seemed rude to me, and especially disrespectful toward Allen Cunningham. Barry barely even acknowledged his presence in the first 4 nights. And Eli would talk, and Barry would pointedly talk over him to talk to Ivey.
