Jimmy Fricke was moved to table #46 after another table broke. He happened to move into the spot of the button and the other players at the table felt this wasn't right. For about 10 minutes now, the table has been arguing with the floor about the ruling and they want it changed. There hasn't been one hand played during this ordeal and some of the other players are getting frustrated over such a small thing.

Fricke stepped up from his seat and said, "I don't care if they give me the big blind, this game is already slow as it is. We just need to start playing."

The floor ended up moving Fricke to a new seat at the table for which he is not on the button.

Splash and Split

donpeters

The action has slowed somewhat recently. Even after the bubble burst, players just don't seem to be heading to the rail. The pots are there, but there's a funny thing about Omaha-8, they have split pots! Most of the heads up pots have been split and seem to be slowing the action.

With a level increase in a few minutes, things should pick up.

[user22113]

Jim Pechac, who plays online as "azbigjim," just knocked out short-stacked Englishman James Bord.

Bord, who just 20 minutes ago celebrated his money finish by hugging a tablemate, will take home $4,025. This is Bord's second cash in the 2008 WSOP.
