"Are You Asking Me To Dinner?"
Level 5
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
We happened by Jason Mercier's table just in time to overhear him tell David "Doc" Sands that he had just received a text message from Phil Hellmuth, who is poised to make a patented late entrance to this event. "Dinner, 6:30?" Mercier said as he read the text aloud.
"You should tell him you don't know because you're already out," Sands said with a smile. The table got a good laugh and then debated whether Hellmuth was asking Mercier out to dinner or what time the dinner break is.
"Are you asking me to dinner or do you want to know what time it's at?" Mercier texted back, though he added, "I should have said, 'Yes, where are you taking me?'"
