At the adjacent table, Gavin Smith stood up from his chair, prompting Kathy to rope him into the conversation.
"Gavin, who's more of a nit, me or Allen Kessler?"
Without missing a beat, Gavin gave her a blank stare and asked, "Kathy, why do you keep playing this game?" She began to work up a comeback, but Gavin interrupted her again. "Why do you keep playing this game?"
With that, he sat back down in his seat, leaving the table chatter to the ladies behind him.

By the Numbers
The lucky man or woman who manages to outlast all the rest will receive an $11,000 WSOP Main Event package, a stunning gold and diamond championship ring, and an oversized check for $183,974. Not too shabby for three days of work!
Please, Keep Your Shirt On
Instead of complaining to the floor about the players lack of clothing, they did the next best thing; they busted him from the event.
