Rail Removal
Level 6
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Security guards have officially entered the ESPN Main Stage and are making their way through the British rail. The rowdiest of the rail birds are now being removed from the stands. Amid numerous objections from the several Brits in attendance, the security officers are being firm in their stance that they must go.
The shouts, chants, and cheers from the British rail are not limited to simply the final table, but can be heard throughout the entire Amazon room. Recently we found a tweet about this from Justin Bonomo who is playing on the other side of the Amazon room.
JustinBonomo Justin Bonomo The shoot out final table rail is so loud and obnoxious that it's very unpleasant playing in the Amazon room right now.
June 21 2012
As the Brits were escorted out of the stage, all that remained in their wake is spilled beer and empty cups and bottles strewn about the stands.
Shoe Bomb!
