Table Chatter and Photo Ops

[user22113]

Play is getting a little tight and two players at table 67 are chatting to pass the time. In a hand over an hour ago, Dustin Dirksen (22nd place finisher) showed down a bluff holding 10-2 offsuit -- the bluffee being Michael Gracz. Tex Barch was needling Gracz, saying "Call-fold is hardly a winning strategy. Do you see ghosts around every corner?" "No I don't see ghosts around every corner," answered Gracz. "But you know how cards go. The kid had been running hot."

At this point a woman comes running into the roped-off area, followed closely by her husband. She throws her arms around Kathy Liebert while her husband takes a few flash photos. Liebert takes it all in stride as the floor escorts them out of the area, explaining that Kathy is working now.
