Level 13
: 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
There's quite a scene unfolding in the Blue section right now. The NBA Finals game is down to about five minutes in the fourth quarter, and there are at least fifty people watching the game as the break clock ticks down to zero. There was murmurs of pushing back the restart time from a group of the more passionate fans, but a few players wanted to get back to the tables, so the clock is running.
Let's see how long everyone can stay in their chairs with the small television about fifty feet from the tables.
Ashby Quarters Chiu, Busts Another
We caught up with the action on a 
board.
Richard Ashby's bet was raised by David Chiu and another player called all in for his remaining 7,000. Ashby called and tabled 
for two pair and the nut low. Chiu could only muster 
to get half of the low, while the all-in player mucked.

52-Card Pickup
Level 13
: 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
Action folded around to a player in middle position, and he opened with a raise. That's where everything went wrong. When the cutoff folded, the dealer made a big fumble collecting the mucked cards, and the whole stub fell out of her hand and onto the table. There were at least a dozen cards face-up, including two kings and two aces. Ranks and suit symbols were partially visible in a sloppy mosaic of failure.
"It looks like that game show Concentration," Mike Sexton chimed in from the adjacent table.
"Floor!"
It took a few minutes to sort it out, but the entire garbage pile was eventually re-shuffled and the hand was played out. The small blind called the raise, and it went check-check through the 
flop. The small blind bet the 
turn, and the preflop raiser folded 
face-up. The small blind flashed his own 
, and the two men laughed off the fact that they had the case aces in the deck. Onto the next hand, though it looks like there might be a new dealer pushing in.
