The Third Time's a Charm

[user22113]

For the third straight day, when a player has drawn a card to determine the number of hands to be played at the end of the day, it has been a 3.

So every table will play three more hands and then be finished for the day.

...and we await the interesting Bellagio-End-of-the-Evening ritual, where they draw to see how many hands each table will play to end the evening's play.

3 more hands it is!
