Moonlighting

[user37786]

There was a bit of an issue at Table #1 as Greg Mueller moved there just as they were switching to hold'em. There was some confusion as to where the button should be with Mueller joining the table, and so the dealer called for the floor.

And Kenny Tran, taking a little walk in-between hands, sidled up behind the dealer and barked, "What's the problem!?"
