Chris Tryba in Event 7
Chris Tryba in Event 7

A few moments ago, over on Table 365 in the Tan Section of the Amazon Room, Chris Tryba was up in arms. If you don't know Mr. Tryba, he's the gentleman with the frayed hat and the plain white t-shirt - he's hard to miss. Apparently, a player at the table thought Tryba called him an, "asshole," and he wanted Tryba to be penalized. Tryba countered, saying that he didn't call anybody an "asshole."

Finally, a neutral party at the table cleared the issue up. Evidently, Tryba said to the gentleman, "was that before you called me an asshole," meaning that he was quoting the other player, not calling him an "asshole." The floor warned both parties that any more disruption would wind up in a penalty for either player.

After the floor walked away, Tryba let out his frustration.

"What planet are you from?!?!?!" he shouted. "EARTH TO MARS!!!!"

He then added a "Let's go Celtics," which received cheers and boos alike.

Updated Chip Counts

While we were rounding up this batch of chip counts, Barry Greenstein looked at us and said, "One guy you need to make sure you update is Abe Mosseri because he's got bets with everybody." That said, we wandered over to Mosseri's table to see him chop a pot with Michael Binger and return to 13,400 in chips.

Mosseri and Binger Chop Watson

Abe Mosseri{5-Clubs}{6-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Michael Binger{a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Mike Watson{6-Spades}{5-Spades}{q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

A player brought it in with the {4-Hearts}, Abe Mosseri completed, and Michael Binger and Mike Watson called. On fourth street, Binger checked, Watson bet, Mosseri raised, and Binger called again. Watson put in a third bet, Mosseri put in a fourth bet, and Binger called. Watson called as well.

On fifth, Binger checked, Watson bet, and both Mosseri and Binger called. When Watson paired on sixth, he checked, Mosseri bet, and both Binger and Watson called.

On seventh, the action checked to Binger who bet. Both Watson and Mosseri called, and Binger turned over {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{x-} for quad jacks. Watson showed {a-Spades}{4-}{8-} for an eight-six low, but Mosseri's {7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for a seventy-six was better. Mosseri and Binger chopped the pot, but Watson still has the most chips amongst the three.
