Teddy Monroe hasn't busted out any gems yet today that were on par with yesterday's table talk, but he is definitely warming up to his table.
"Yesterday you didn't know who I was," Monroe told Mike Sowers.
"I knew who you were," Sowers replied. "You're a legend, bro. How are people not gonna know who you were?"
Monroe just nodded his head. "A lot of kids write bad things about me. Those are the ones who don't have nothin' to do in real life."

Matt Woodward
Chris Karagulleyan just took down a significant pot against Matt Woodward to climb back up to around 850,000 in chips, though the real story here centers around Woodward.
Before the tournament started, Woodward took his seat and explained to a few players at his table that he was in an awful mood to start the day. The perpetrators were a food order gone terribly wrong and a sour encounter with a floorman downstairs. Matt started the day with 771,000 but has already lost over half of his stack and is currently sitting with right around 300,000.
By the sounds of it, he's having another go at a food order, so perhaps once he gets some delicious Commerce grub in his system, he'll be able to turn things around.
