"Let Me Punch You In the Face Before We Start."

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

It's not just all poker in the Pavilion Room.

Steve Watts and Gavin Smith are seated at the same table and seem to be hitting it off. The last pass we made at their table Smith, Watts and another player were discussing some sort of arm wrestling bet. Watts, who happens to have the opposite body type of Smith, was trying to negotiate a fair bet.

"You're not understanding how weak I am," Smith said. "Let me use both hands and punch you in the face right before we start and we may have a bet."

Watts didn't seem too keen on the punch to the face but using two hands may have been an option.
