Three Hands Left

The clock has been paused with ten minutes left, and we'll play three more hands at each table, then call it a night. The cocktail server was just coming through the tables, and it's a time when a lot of players like to order a celebratory drink or three. It was surprisingly quiet around the tables, except for Michele Limongi who ordered, "Another espresso, just like the last one." To each his own.

We'll skip the coffee for tonight -- it is 3:00 in the morning, dear lord -- but those cocktails do sound pretty good right about now.
