An Understandable Distraction

A mild pandemonium just broke out in the area adjacent to the Milwaukee's Best Final Table area here in the corner of the giant Amazon Room. At first it was unclear as to what caused the uproar, but it soon became clear...the Belmont Stakes. It's no secret that a gambler's passions go well beyond poker. Billiards, sports betting, and or course, the occasional bet on a horse race are all part of the typical gamber's income. In case you were wondering, Da' Tara wins the Belmont Stakes, preventing Big Brown from becoming the first horse in 30 years to win the Triple Crown.
