Graham Bringin' the Business
After tournament staff member Greg Pappas asked Rory Graham why he's been so quiet, Graham had this to say.
"That's what I'm always accused of, being quiet and discrete. I'm alive now baby!"
Pappas laughed with him as Graham continued on to say, "I'm from Beverly Hills, baby! Hollywood, baby! We all about show business in Hollywood! Show business and ho business. That's the only business!"
Graham got up from his seat and walked over to one of our reporters and continued, "Ain't that right, brotha? Show business and ho business, baby!" as he shook his hand.
If you've never had the pleasure of meeting Rory Graham, Lynn Gilmartin caught up with him earlier today, so check out our exclusive video:

A massive crowd had gathered around the table and when we walked up, one player had already moved in, Graham moved all in behind him (for slightly less) and Jose 'lider1417' Alfaro was considering a call.
After some time in the tank, Alfaro eventually folded a pocket pair of queens face up on the table, setting up a showdown between Rory's aces and his opponent's jacks.
"I got aces," Rory boasted, slamming his cards down face up on the table.
"Don't go beatin' my fu*king aces, dealer!" demanded Rory, standing atop his chair.
The dealer spread the flop...
and Rory's aces remained in the lead."Ace! Ace! Ace!" Rory screamed.
The
fell on the turn."Trey! Trey!"
The
fell on 5th Street."SHIP IT!! SHIP IT!!" yelled the jubilant Tican/New Yorker.
"Every last ficha (chip)... send it! Get the picture, take the story!" he continued, as a throng of media played right to his antics.
"It's time for some little engine sh*t!" Graham said. "Chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga!"
After the hand, the boisterous man who calls himself A.J. stacked up right around 125,000 in chips.
