With ten minutes left in Level 11, the tournament clock has been paused and a card drawn to determine the number of hands that will be played on each table before players bag and tag their chips. Tonight, it was a four, therefore, four more hands.

It's Getting Late and We're Getting Grumpy...
There appears to be a little tension on the Freddy Deeb/Brett Richey table where Deeb has accused Richey of intentionally trying to look at his cards.
"What? I like to stand up a lot!" defended Richey.
The situation got so bad that Deeb actually called the floor over to complain. Richey then exaggerated his customary stance by walking a good twenty feet away from the table with Deeb eyeing him down the whole way!
Watch this space for some fireworks soon! -

Scotty Nguyen, always the entertainerThe Late Night Scotty Nguyen Show Underway
The late-night antics of Scotty Nguyen appear to have kicked in as the drinks are flowing and the unmistakable laughter emanates across the room from table 64.
First, Scotty offered a bet of $100 that he could toss a bit of paper into a nearby rubbish bin. He nailed it and was disappointed to not get any takers.
He then grabbed a Kleenex and offered odds of 100 to 1 to anyone that he could throw the Kleenex into the bin.
One lucky punter stepped up and offer Scotty $1, and Scotty swiftly poured his beer all over the Kleenex, scrunched it up, nailed the shot and claimed his $1 prize to the roars from the rail.
After a few more similar challenges, Scotty took the $1 bills he'd accumulated, signed them and handed them out to the fans on the rail.
Only Scotty Nguyen baby! -

Abe Mosseri EliminatedNo Razz Love for Abe
Razz
Abe Mosseri will have Razz nightmares this evening. After losing the big pot to Ferguson he found his last chips all in by fourth street in a Razz hand against Hasan Habib. The boards ran out:
Mosseri: () ()
Habib: () ()
As he squeezed the river Mosseri was disgusted to find a king, after the hand started so promising, and he hurled the card across the table and stormed out of the Amazon Room. -
