Slow and Steady

In the early rounds of limit tournaments most players are looking to stay out of trouble. While many will just sit and fold their cards, some have found other ways to occupy their minds. Tom "durrr" Dwan has been popping out of his seat to visit friends, while Greg "FBT" Mueller is chowing down on a chinese chicken salad as well as what looks like some delicious sushi. Many tables have also been paid a visit by the legendary T.J. Cloutier, whom we don't believe is actually playing in this event. Nevertheless he's making the rounds and chatting to old friends as the minutes remaining in this first level tick away.

The Mouth Benched

Mike Matusow

An extremely fit-looking Mike Matusow is seated at Table 14, fresh from winning his $100,000 weight-loss bet that he made with Ted Forrest one year ago. Matusow dropped over 50 pounds by eating healthy and running upwards of six miles each day. As he approached the June 3 deadline for the bet, though, Matusow was still about 8 pounds away and went on a 96-hour fast until his final weigh-in.

Matusow was just heard regaling his table with the story of the last four days of the bet, which unfortunately led to some health problems. Matusow saw a doctor, who told him he couldn't run for 12 days while his body recovered.

"If I knew I couldn't run for 12 days, I never would have done it" the newly minted workout addict said.

A Home Game Feeling

Walking by Robert Williamson's table T.J. Cloutier — who is not in the event — took stock of the players there.
"Chau-Chau (Chau Giang), Robert, Steve (Zolotow)..." Cloutier said. "The're are not too many faces you don't know."

"I walked to the first person I didn't know, I just didn't know his first name," Williamson said. "I shook his hand. Now him and I are old friends."

The Field is Growing...

As most tables continue dealing triple draw, late registrants are wandering into the room. Tournament directors broke three tables in the $2000 No-Limit event just to make room for the additions. What started as a field of 134 is now 178.
