No Bugs for This Man

Poker tournaments are notorious breeding grounds for diseases -- the air conditioning, the filthy chips, the various germs carried in by thousand of people from all over the world, the general poor levels of hygiene of the occasional antisocial player...

One gent, however, is determined to avoid the risk of germy nasties -- he's turned up to play today with a surgical mask covering his face. Given that it also hides his expression quite effectively, it's probably not a bad strategy at that. We applaud his forward thinking, and pray that he doesn't actually have swine flu or similar.
