. Marcel held {A-Diamonds}

. For a pair of 10's. Marcel's opponent had the {A-Spades}

For someone that thinks that Omaha is a sucker game, Amir Vahedi is playing a lot of pots. In the last few minutes he has been involved in several pots, winning his share of them. Currently he sits around 4,600 in chips.

Meehan Eats at 3 p.m.

[user67765]

After it was just announced that the players would receive a short 30-minute dinner break at the completion of this level, Jim Meehan soon let his feeling be known to the rest of the table.

"Dinner Break!?!? We started at 5 p.m., what sort of dinner break would you like? You're supposed to eat at like 3 p.m. for the evening events!"

All Hail King Meehan

"Minneapolis" Jim Meehan continues his verbal assault on his table. He began by ranting about everything from greed in large corporations to the rake that players pay at the poker table. He summed up by saying, "When I'm king, things will be different."

Brunson Stuck In The Middle

[user67765]

We overheard two players involved in a heated argument over the correct way to split up pots. One player was admonishing the dealer, while the other player was telling the player to be quiet and let the dealer do his job.

They two players are holding up the game while they argue, and seated in between the two is none other than Todd Brunson who looks visibly depressed at being caught in the middle of such nonsense!
