Senior Moment

[user22113]

It appears Amarillo Slim was slightly confused by all the action in the first two hours of the tournament. He just came into the Brasilia room looking for his table. Slim's table is in the Amazon room. It should be noted that Slim was in the Brasilia room for the seniors event last night.

The aforementioned Amarillo Slim has found his chair. Just a moment ago, he loped his way across the cavernous Amazon room and took his spot at Table 21, giving the table a broad smile as he sat down.
