Daryl Katz has been shaking his groove thang over on table 272, but not without earning the ire of Gavin Smith after doubling through Kevin Boudreau.
We picked up the action on a flop that read after the dealer had called for the floor, as one of the other players on the table had requested a clock on Katz. The tournament supervisor reached the ten-second verbal countdown, but with two seconds left, Katz slammed the rest of his chips in and tabled , ahead of Boudreau's .
The turn and river ran out , and Boudreau's trip queens were best to take down the pot. Smith wasn't as happy as Katz though, as he remarked: "I've never called the clock on anybody in my life, but sir, that was the most absurd slow-roll I've ever seen."
We reported on the various behavior of James Boyle last night due to his excessive drinking. He chugged a whole beer while mulling a call, almost mucked his (winning) hand and was ordering two drinks at a time.
He was rudely awakened this morning by series of text messages and phone calls from his friends and family. He had no idea what they were talking about and after a couple conversations he was told he was still in the tournament.
"I don't remember you at all buddy," he said to another tablemate that he played next to for the last level of the night. Even Bryn Kenney was giving Boyle information about hands he played last night.
He apparently doesn't remember much of the night and he has gotten off to a good start today already. He's already on a first name basis with a cocktail server and we've got him at four beers inside of two levels already.
