"Oh my god!" Matusow shouted, pointing at Orange #12. "How do I get to that table? Phil, how much 2-7 have you played in your entire life? About five minutes?"
Galfond grinned and answered, "Probably about three hours."

Pair Good Enough for Black
"Kings," said Elezra, a note of wistfulness in his voice. He tossed his hand into the muck without even seeing Black's hand. Black, however, flashed two deuces and grinned before raking the pot.
