Where in the World is Rob Amereno?

Rob Amereno so far is a no-show on day two of this H.O.R.S.E event. So far, Amereno's chair is doing a fine job of watching over his stack. "The Chair," as he is called affectionately by his opponents, admits to having limited experience in mixed games. If Amereno doesn't return, it should be interesting to see how deep "The Chair" can go.

Rob Amereno Has Arrived

Rob Amereno showed up about 40 minutes late with his hair dripping wet asking, "Am I late?" He then took the place of "The Chair" in an attempt to play his stack. "The Chair" put up a fantastic effort, but now Amereno will try and play out the rest of the day.
