There was an interesting conversation going on at the tables after Sam Laskowitz asked his fellow players what the biggest difference a doubling of net worth could make to someone's quality of life would be. For example, would going from $600,000 to $1.2 million make a bigger difference than doubling a much larger fortune?
Several players weighed in before Nicholas Palma suggested that $500,000 was already a lot of money and could last someone 10 to 15 years.
"You don't have a wife," replied Chris Brewer, who went on to tell a story about his wife's recent trip to Italy, where she bought their dog a $4,000 Gucci bag.
"I'd return that immediately," Palma responded.
"Gucci doesn't do returns," came Brewer's reply.
While the table debated the cost of luxury dog accessories, there was still plenty of poker being played.
Nicholas Seward opened from the small blind to 42,000 and Sean Winter called from the big blind. Winter then called bets of 24,000 on the flop and 83,000 on the turn as the board ran out A♥9♣3♦10♥10♠.
Seward fired another 236,000 on the river, leaving himself just 1,000 behind. Winter announced a raise to 600,000, and Seward quickly folded.
