Goonawardne's Railbirds

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Local player Marlon Goonawardne has drawn such a large flock of railbirds that they have completely clogged the foot traffic on the floor. One supervisor just had to leave the tournament area in order to move them closer to the rail.

Two of them managed to sneak up behind me just a few minutes ago.

"You know his nickname is 'Fish', right?"

Fish or not, Goonawardne has 1.1 million out of the 1.85 million chips in play.
