Table Talk

[user38449]

With just 10 players remaining in the tournament - one elimination away from the money - the tournament is being played hand-for-hand on two tables with five players on each.

Local favorite Sam Khouiss was overheard talking to his neighbor, Dag Martin Mikkelsen:

"Dag . . . Dag . . . You've got enough (chips). Just take it easy, OK?"
