The players are now on a 20-minute break.
"Looking better, aint it?" said Layne Flack after spotting us looking at his stack. "I was at 50, went down to four, and now I'm back up to 50 again."
After that the table conversation went to a very "interesting" place. The topic was tattoos, and in particular, tattoos on male private parts.
One player said he knew a guy who had one done down there but insisted he hadn't seen it, asked to see it, or anything like that.
Bold as brass, Flack responded, "I've seen tattoos on dicks!" He went on to explain how he grew up around biker bars and tattoo parlors where it was a common sight. "I couldn't imagine the pain," he went on.
It was at this point we left the table as the conversation was probably heading somewhere not bloggable.
Hup Holland Hup.
Thomas Keller raised in late position, Jim Geary re-raised, and Julie Schneider called from the blinds. Keller called as well, and we were off to the first draw.
Geary discarded one, Schneider two, and Keller three. Geary led out, and only Schneider called. On the second draw, Geary drew one, and Schneider took two. Geary led out, and Schneider called again.
Both players drew one on the final draw, and Geary led out again. Schneider quickly called.
"Pair," Geary said, turning over, 
.
"Ace," Schneider countered, fanning 
.
The dealer was confused for a moment as to who the victor was, but after a little help from Schneider, the pot was pushed to her.
We caught up with this hand in the second betting round when Matthew Smith bet his last 1,300 and Allen Kessler called.
The last draw round saw Kessler draw one and his opponent discard two. "Two? How can I lose this hand?" said Kessler .
He was right as his 
was good for the pot and Smith's scalp.
Pat Pezzin only had 1,500 or so going into his last hand, and he stuck it all in against David Baker. On the first draw, Baker discarded three, and Pezzin tossed in two. On the second draw, Baker took one, Pezzin took two, and Baker stood pat for the third draw.
"Wow," Pezzin said. "Really?"
Pezzin drew one, and said he had a nine.
"You're drawing dead," Baker said, fanning for an eighty-seven.
Pezzin showed the , grabbed his things, and exited the Amazon Room.
