Game 3 of the NBA Finals are on TV and of course a good portion of the field has a vested interest in the game. At a nearby table, that happens to be right in front of a TV, Ylon Schwartz was giving the table a bit of a history lesson.
He stated that the roots of basketball came from the Mayans that a ball and hoop game. The ruins of the fields have been discovered in the Yucatan.
"When the team lost the losing captain would have his head cut off," Schwartz said. "Now that's real sport."
We're not sure Jason Mercier agreed with Schwartz, he was busy worrying about his table breaking.
When we came to Phil Hellmuth's table, he was involved in a hand with two opponents and it was already on fourth street. Hellmuth and Opponent 2 both checked as Opponent 1 flicked out a bet. Two called and fifth street would see all three players check. Play would again be checked to Opponent 1 and he would bet on sixth. Only Hellmuth made the call and seventh street was dealt.
Both players checked here and Hellmuth announced he had aces, tabling his in the hole. It was enough to send his opponent's cards into the muck as he scooped up the pot.
When we arrived over at Brian Hasting's table, he was busy opening the pot during a hand of limit hold'em. David Bakes Baker was on his direct left and three-bet. The rest of the table got out of the way and a flop was dealt.
Flop:
Hastings opted to check-call a bet from Baker on the flop and the was dealt on the turn. This time when Hastings checked and Baker bet, Hastings looked at his opponent's stack before letting his hand go.

Wasserson check-called a bet on the flop and the turn () and then opted to lead on the river (). Seiver instantly folded on the river and sent the pot to Wasserson, leaving himself with a fairly short stack.
