Odds and Ends

Here's something you don't usually see in a fixed-limit tournament: a clock was just called on Table 197 during the hold'em round. All of the board cards were out and one player was considering his decision long enough that a clock was called. He finally folded, prompting the winning player to show a busted flush draw.

At a different table, David Singer seems to have a handwritten "cheat sheet" that he is using to remind himself which stud game he is playing -- razz, stud, or "high-low". This despite the fact that every table has a stack of bright red placards that state the current game in tall, white block letters.

Three different tables have also started talking about penalties for checking behind with the nuts on the river. Chad Brown's table, in particular, is giving him a hard time about doing so in a televised hand against Kristy Gazes.
