: 250/500, 50 ante
The Rugby World Cup 2015 game Wales versus Fiji is going on right now, and a lot of players were keen to watch it. The tournament organization came to the rescue and put the game on the big screen in the tournament room. There's no sound, but players can still at least keep up to date with the score and plays. Some players are paying more attention to the tv screen then to the poker game going on, but its a good game so we do understand.
