Where Chip Stacks Go To Die
Jon Friedberg just reported to that seat and said, "Everyone here has a lot of chips, where'd you get them?". And that's when he learned that most of those chips were donated by the players who formerly occupied the chair he was about to sit in. Friedberg turned around and made like he was going to walk away, spilling one of his yellow 1,000 chips in the process. It landed on his chair...a bad omen?
Friedberg unracked as the players at the table told him about the demise of the others who'd sat in that seat. And then the cards were dealt and Friedberg reached for his chips and said, "Raise".
