Tradition in the WSOP:

Steve Zolotow and Rafi Amit are asking for new decks in the original cellophane, not used decks. They are worried about marked cards. The tournament director brought out a new deck and play at their table is continuing.

I'm still in. It sucks really bad though. 12 away from the money after Day 1, and I'm somewhat short.

So that means I will not cash AND not be able to play Sunday tournies [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

That's not that short stacked, you can do it. First hand you get will be KKA3 ds, then a few hands later you'll pick-up AA34 on the BB and bust Daniel Nagraneu. Simple, bracelet ahoy!

Thayer,

Could be worse. You could be me. T8500. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Tuco.

[yellowjack]

Action has resumed, and Tuco is in the money.

He went on a ridiculous run from t8500 to t46000.
