Poker is a Dangerous

The feature table is on a raised platform, which is covered by a plastic tarp with some advertising on it. It is ripped and bunched up in a few places, and the players, dealers, and floor men keep tripping over it every time they walk by. Several have commented on how dangerous it is in the last few hours.

Scott Vener got out of his seat to chat with Chino Rheem on the rail and like so many others, tripped over the tarp and went flying. He caught himself before hitting the ground and wasn't hurt. "I almost got first place money right there," Vener said, laughing. The floor didn't look like they thought it was so funny.
