Parting Shots

"Uh oh... better have some fun before the table's done!"

Said one of the players at what has been a very animated Table #82 over in the Orange section. Looks like they are slated to be broken before too much longer.

While many of the surrounding tables have remained mostly silent over the first two-and-a-half levels of play, Table #82 has featured many loud discussions of hands as well as of the tournament rules. Indeed, the floor has been called over a couple of times to sort out the latter.

It's clear some of the players are enjoying all of the conversation and noise much more than others. As might be expected, the individual mood of each player appears to be directly tied to the relative amount of chips sitting in front of him.

"Will get to meet some new friends!" said one of the happy ones, referring to the impending move. Meanwhile the short-stacked player sitting to his left continued to brood, perhaps having other reasons for desiring the table change.
