The action is really slowing down over here. Trai "Danny" Dang just closed his eyes promping John "Tex" Barch to blurt, "Wake up Danny!"
'Wake up Danny' is one of Dang's manny nicknames, and it's the first thing many friends on the rail have said to him.

And the *insert raiser* wins the pot.
We're hearing a lot of that lately at the final table as the play continues to be tight.

Joining the rail now is 2008 November Niner David "Chino" Rheem. He came running around the corner yelling:
"I'm here baby! Wake up Danny (Dang)!"
As you can tell he is here to rail his friend Trai "Danny" Dang.
"This s*** could take a while," he said. "That's ok though."
Yes, Chino, this could take a while.
