Would You Be So Kind?

[user65508]

Annie Duke just arrived to visit her friend Erik Seidel. She laid out several patches/stickers for her upcoming Ante Up For Africa tournament and asked Seidel if he "would be so kind" as to help promote the event.

Seidel, jokingly, took each of the four or five stickers and held them up to his chest as if to plaster himself with the promotional material. He laughed, took them down, and now has them in front of him on the table edge.

Much Quieter on This Side

[user65508]

Originally, play had been taking place in the far corner of the Brasilia room. However, once they cleared out the $1,000 Rebuy tournament from this room, we got moved clear down to the other side. It took a bit to adjust, and the tournament staff stopped the clock in the meantime, but we're back in business now.

We're also much, much farther away from the nightly tournament as well, which means it's a whole lot quieter too.
