Walking in Memphis

With the flurry of action we've had at this final table, it is noteworthy that the last three hands have all resulted in walks to the big blind.

Leave it to Ted to break up the trend though. As we write this, Forrest raises first in from the small blind, pushing out Kia Hooshmand and winning his second small pot in a row.
