How strong is the wind buffeting the Poker Pavilion? It's ripped two doors off their hinges and it's now nearly impossible to keep them closed. The sucking wind keeps ripping them open and their constant banging is a major distraction to the players.

Some Editorial Comments

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Apparently some of the play so far hasn't been up to the standards of certain people, including one dealer who said something that elicited this comment from "Minneapolis" Jim Meehan: "We paid $1500 to enter this event just to hear the dealer say, 'You morons, I've never seen donkeys like you in my entire life!'?"

No word on whether Meehan agreed with that comment.

One of the biggest pots so far today came between Raymond Davis and another player who engaged in several raises both before and after the {J-Hearts}

flop. Davis check-called as the {9-Hearts}

and

followed and showed the {Q-Hearts}

for the 2nd-nut flush, only to lose out to the other player's {A-Hearts}

nut flush.

Mass Exodus

The powers that be have heard the player's complaints and decided that conditions inside the Poker Pavilion just won't do. They're moving the players into the Amazon Room table-by-table to get them out of that howling wind.
