On Break

The players are taking a 20-minute break

We simply must comment on the fabulous hat Alan Jaffray is wearing at the table. We could be generous and call it a fedora, but you didn't see Philip Marlowe wearing a hat with a flower and a spray of lace on it.

Still, you gotta admit, it works for him.

Hand #28-- Peter Gould

[user37786]

Jonathan Aguiar raised to 48,000 and it was folded to Peter Gould in the small blind. He counted out a long line of chips then stacked them neatly before pushing them forward for a 155,000 raise. It was folded back to Aguiar, who riffled his chips a few times before conceding the pot.

Goons are in Attendance

[user38971]

Michael Banducci has been relatively quiet today, finding himself in only a couple of raised pots. However, his cheering section has been quite the opposite.

Banducci raised prelop, two hands in a row, and ended up taking down both. Immediately after, Banducci's cheering section roared with cheers and yells, happy that their favorite player took it down,

"Booyah!" One of the fans yelled, followed by the ever-popular "ship it." After winning his second hand, more of Banducci's fans made their way into the ESPN area and pulled up seats, only to be greeted by the others with a "welcome to the goon squad" quip.

Their name, not ours.
