Not the Only Game Going

Johnny Chan recently asked for a TV to be brought near his table, so that he could watch the NBA Finals game between the Celtics and the Lakers. The staff advised him that it wasn't possible and Johnny said, "Well then, can I put in a request for the future?"

A TV was turned on all the way across the room, and Chan keeps standing up between hands to walk over and check the score. Each time he returns, he broadcasts the latest updates to his table.

"They're up by four and they got the ball."
