The Long and Winding Road

Some spectators on the rail were just cheering on players at Table 375, including one who shouted to Annette Obrestad that he wanted her to win.

"I can't win for about eight hours anyway," she called back, suggesting patience is the word for the time being. "At least seven," was the response from the rail.

Meanwhile over on the other table, Dustin Dirksen and Reagan Leman were watching the sports highlights go by a little while ago on the big screen television nearby. The pair were marveling at highlights of that incredible Wimbledon tennis match today between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut, the one which was finally suspended because of darkness after the pair had played more than ten hours, with the fifth set still tied at 59-59!

We'll see how long this one takes. The blinds are now 6,000/12,000 (with a 2,000 ante), and they are playing six-handed (for now), so the shorter stacks will only be able to be patient for so long.
