Bill Chen Shows His Comical Side

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

We missed how the subject was brought up, but Bill Chen just stopped by Richard Brodie's table, and let him know that he wouldn't trade his own head of hair for Brodie's any day (Brodie is, in fact, bald on top).

Hard-Luck Tony

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Tony Rivera has bounced around the event today like a steel ball inside a pinball machine, only the bumpers are all big name professional poker players.

Of the four tables that have broken today, he's been at two of them. After the first break, he was sent to a table with Howard Lederer and David Benyamine. Shortly thereafter, he was moved into the big blind to the right of Marcel Luske.

Marcel claims Tony was put there because Marcel asked the tournament director for some fish when the seat opened up.
