Playing a Different Game

While every other table in the Amazon Room is playing with blinds of 50 and 100, the players at Blue #1 (Jamie Gold's table) are playing with blinds of 25 and 50. Neither the dealer nor any of the players at the table seem to have noticed or cared. We'll keep an eye on it to see how long it takes before someone mentions it to the dealer.

Gold has played almost every hand so far. One of his opponents just asked him where his banner is (banners of past champions are hung around the Amazon Room). He replied, "It's two over from the question mark. There's the question mark for this year, Jerry Yang for last year, then me."
