David Williams Gets His Wrists Wrapped
A rather unusual example of this I have just witnessed. For some strange reason David Williams was spotted getting electrical tape wrapped around his wrists.
He must have ripped his sleeve or something, but a burly security guard has just been applying several layers of tape to his wrists.
I bet if I wanted my wrists taped I wouldn't get as speedy a service.

Jesus Likes Rolled-Up Deuces
Chris Ferguson
Kenny Tran
Michael Mizrachi
Kenny Tran bet out on fifth street, Ferguson raised, Mizrachi called and Tran called.
Sixth Street:
Chris Ferguson
Kenny Tran
Michael Mizrachi
Mizrachi checked, Tran checked, Ferguson bet, Mizrachi folded and Tran called.
On seventh street Ferguson bet and Tran called.
Ferguson turned up in the hole for rolled-up deuces that turned to quads on fifth street and Tran mucked.
After the hand, Ferguson was up to 12,500 while Tran was down to 9,000 and Mizrachi was sporting an early short stack with 3,800.
Baptism of Fire for the Dealers
Inevitably the floor managers are getting called over quite a lot and a lot of rulings are being requested. Bear in mind that not only is this new to the staff, but of course we have slightly different ways of doing things here in the UK than in the States, too.
They are doing a great job, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of controversy round the corner.
