Table Talk
-- and won the pot! The tale of that hand had made its way around several of the tables in action today.In the back room, Gavin Smith is once again telling his table about what a drinker he is. Today his estimation of his 2009 drinking is that he had 20 or more drinks 340 days out of last year -- down from yesterday's estimation of 345 days.
Phil Ivey, who started in the overflow room,is now at a table in the center of the main tournament room. His seat gives him n excellent view of a large projection against one wall which is showing live coverage of the Masters. Ivey's eyes are continuously darting towards the coverage, as Tiger Woods is scheduled to tee off at 1:42pm, in about 30 minutes. Yesterday Ivey booked action with David Singer on Tiger to win, getting better than 5-to-1.
