Different Games

[user22113]

With less than an hour to go on Day Two there is quite a bit of laughter coming from several tables. At the same time, calls for the floor are up at other tables, where several disagreements have surfaced. There have been several calls for the clock and in general the players are either getting a bit weary or just a bit loopy.
