Seven Card Stud Hi-Low Split 8-or-Better isn't the most exciting game, but can anything be more boring than this:
devopoker Bryan Devonshire Of course @MWBinger is reading an article titled "Old Neurons, New Tricks." Why? "I was bored."

We didn't think so.
While we were rounding up this batch of chip counts, Barry Greenstein looked at us and said, "One guy you need to make sure you update is Abe Mosseri because he's got bets with everybody." That said, we wandered over to Mosseri's table to see him chop a pot with Michael Binger and return to 13,400 in chips.

A few moments ago, over on Table 365 in the Tan Section of the Amazon Room, Chris Tryba was up in arms. If you don't know Mr. Tryba, he's the gentleman with the frayed hat and the plain white t-shirt - he's hard to miss. Apparently, a player at the table thought Tryba called him an, "asshole," and he wanted Tryba to be penalized. Tryba countered, saying that he didn't call anybody an "asshole."
Finally, a neutral party at the table cleared the issue up. Evidently, Tryba said to the gentleman, "was that before you called me an asshole," meaning that he was quoting the other player, not calling him an "asshole." The floor warned both parties that any more disruption would wind up in a penalty for either player.
After the floor walked away, Tryba let out his frustration.
"What planet are you from?!?!?!" he shouted. "EARTH TO MARS!!!!"
He then added a "Let's go Celtics," which received cheers and boos alike.
