Stuffed Turkeys

[user38971]

With this event running as late as it is, there are plenty of railbirds hanging out riding their favorite player. So far, we've been hearing many colorful things, including "one time! one time!" during the three-way all-in earlier, and our personal favorite, which was uttered just moments ago "stuff that turkey". We're not 100% sure what it means, but either way, it was certainly interesting to hear coming from the fans.

Moments later we heard, "is it Thanksgiving already? November 26? Get those mashed potatoes out. With some stuuuuffing."

[user37786]

flop didn't seem to offer much help but the {3-Hearts}

on the turn gave Bell a flush draw. One that he hit when the {6-Hearts}

fell on the river to give Bell the runner-runner flush and the pot.

Play Continues...Technically

[user38971]

As with most events on Day 2, once the final two tables are reached players tend to make a stand in their best effort to last to the final table. While it's a good strategy that pays off well, it unfortunately means that time can pass without too may significant hands to recap.

As the hours tick by here in the Amazon room, we're currently joined by the remaining 16 players in the 7-Card Stud World Championship, as well as the Ladies Event, which just finished.

Vacuum cleaners hum in the background while the few remaining railbirds continue to hug the rail in hopes that their friends, or family members, go deep.

Level: 19

Blinds: 8,000/16,000
