The serial kisser
Out of the two remaining players, it would appear as though Sorel Mizzi is the more heavily supported, with various young online pros shouting him on from the sidelines. Also gracing us with their presence here at ringside are the first and second-place finishers from last year's Main Event, Annette Obrestad and John Tabatabai.
In a moment of madness, Tabatabai raced up to the table to give Mizzi a big wet kiss on the cheek. The timing of this platonic (or, so I hope) show of affection was probably not the best, as Mizzi had just lost an all-in for the bracelet. Otherwise I'm sure he would have reciprocated.
