NBA > WSOP
Level 6
: 150/300, 25 ante
Every year at the World Series of Poker, the NBA Finals take place as well. To cater to the players (many of whom are large sports bettors), the WSOP often litters each tournament area with television screens displaying the games. Needless to say, the players love this, but they also have a bit harder time playing poker during the games. With the players so fixated on the TV screens around the room, sweating each and every point, foul and fast break, it's now that time in the tournament when things slow down a bit. Heck, if we're caught standing in the line of sight of one of the TVs, we're likely to get an empty water bottle hurled at us.
The moral of the story is this: If things slow down a bit on the felt, don't blame us, blame the NBA.
