[user42991]

Another overflow table over in the blue section has formed and it has quite a lineup. David Chiu, Daniel Negreanu, Chad Brown, Nick Schulman, and Josh Arieh are all seated at the table. You almost have to feel sorry for the other three players at the table.

Going Through the Desert on a H.O.R.S.E. With No Name

[user42991]

Action is a little slow going right now as the limits are still relatively low. As the limit go up, we should start seeing a little more movement in chips and more players heading out the door.

Quads Twice But Chop Chop

[user67765]

Stud-8:

We just observed one table where players were dealt quads in two consecutive hands, the second one being dealt to Scott Bohlman. In both instances an opponent made a low so the net result was a chopped pot!

Following the hand there was a dealer change much to the relief of the rest of the table who were heard to comment, "Thank god for a new dealer!"
