Story Time

"I lost my voice. It hurts to talk," said Antonio Esfandiari a little while ago. "Yet... I can't shut up."

Actually, Esfandiari and his eight tablemates have been very quiet in the early going, with hardly any noise emanating from the table but the quiet riffling of chips and the dealer's announcements of action.

"Tell me a story, Steve," said Antonio to Steven Begleiter, with whom he'd opened a brief dialogue a little while ago following that cheer for Begleiter from the rail.

From the looks of things, the only stories this group will be telling in the near term will be told via the cards and chips.
