Just rode an earthquake!

The scene at Bay101 was pretty interesting - people rushing to the exits and generally freaking out; several games broke almost immediately after it was over, with a bunch of players racking up and hitting the cage. I slid under the table and sort kept one hand above me on my chips, but the shaking was over just a few seconds after it started, followed by the inevitable. "OK, it's over. Did the button move? C'mon and deal already."

Definitely created a buzz in the room, and I think the release of adrenaline loosened up a few of players in my game once play resumed.

Glad no one was hurt.

Quite the opposite for the 100-200 game. Before the quake, the game was great, but four people left afterwards, totally freaked out. They said "No rucky... Go home!" and did. The game slowed to a crawl and never got really cooking again. I left about an hour later.

I was in a pot when it happened. Somebody's chips fell down into it and it was a mess - people bolted from the table when the place started shaking and almost knocked over the table. I just sat there making sure nobody grabbed my chips. We reconstructed the pot afterwards and I ended up winning!
