Who Cares to Double Dip?

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Frank Kassela will be double dipping tonight.
Frank Kassela will be double dipping tonight.

We just took a poll of today's players to see if they were going to double dip and enter the Razz event that begins at 5:00 p.m.

Matt Glantz shook his head and said, "I have a hard enough time playing one event. I'll leave that to Jason (Mercier). I don't like running back and forth between rooms."

Kathy Liebert said, "Probably not, if I bust here I might go play the $10,000 Pot Limit Hold'em event."

Steve Brecher, Andy Frankenberger and Matt Matros all said no. Liebert asked Chino Rheem and he replied, "Razz?! I hate that game. It's the easiest game but I can't stand playing it."

"You don't like it because you can't bluff as easily," Liebert replied.

"Well... yeah," Rheem said.

Frank Kasella said, "I can't not play Razz. I'm definitely playing tonight."
