Mark "Newhizzle" Newhouse posted a week ago on the "Wise Hand Poker" blog that several players owe him money and he's going to try and collect this week.
Over the last half-hour, Newhizzle has been picking on Dustin "Neverwin" Woolf, still in this event, grumbling that Neverwin owes him money. He's even kicked a plastic chip rack in Neverwin's general direction. Right now, Newhizzle is pacing back and forth along the rail like a mountain lion.
