Back from the Dead

Quite literally, in fact, as last time I heard, Irish club owner Sean Murphy was declared deceased, never to return to the felt. I even reported it if I recall correctly, along with numerous other media outlets.

But wait! He's here, in the flesh (and not Zombie flesh either), like another April 1st hoax, betting and raising like someone who wasn't dead. I've rubbed the sleep from my eyes numerous times, but yes, it's him, and he's doing well - very well for someone who's supposed to be six feet under - and is 18,000 to the good.

Also on his table are Ross Boatman and Brian Townsend, who although aren't playing many hands, are definitely alive, Boatman in particular as he has over 20,000 in chips.
