There is an interesting verbal confrontation brewing over at Table 377, which is currently home to Barry Greenstin, Justin Bonomo, Michael "Squeaky" Winnett and Sam Grizzle. The insults, which are masked in humor, have been flying between the veteran Grizzle and up-and-coming Winnett.
Winnett has developed a reputation on the circuit as a fast-talking young gun who was once described by Noah Schwartz as the "Spanish Urkel." Some find his antics entertaining, but even more have expressed their discontent and annoyance. Whatever the case, Winnett is rarely silenced.
On the other side of the table is the veteran Grizzle, who is known to hold his own when it comes to verbal jousting. You may remember Grizzle from the 2003 World Series of Poker when he tangled with Phil Hellmuth:
Grizzle and Winnett seem to be getting under one another's skin, with the latter constantly challenging the former to play heads-up cash. Grizzle has been letting Winnett mouth off and then will coyly fire back a well-timed one liner, which gave been getting a few chuckles from the table. It'll be interesting to see if these two continue to butt heads moving forward.
The table folded around to Micah Raskin, who raised on the button. Matt Matros then made it three bets from the small blind, and Raskin called. The dealer spread 
for the flop, and Matros immediately bet out. Raskin quickly folded, and Matros pulled in the pot. He has already built his stack up to 23,500.

Limit tournaments are notoriously slow, especially in the first few levels; as such, many of the players have devoted the majority of their attention to the various TVs around the room to watch the Miami Heat take on the San Antonio Spurs in Game 7 of the NBA Championship.
There are clearly a lot of basketball fans in the house, and given this is Las Vegas, it's more than likely that many of them have made a wager on the game. For Terrence Chan, that fact has inspired an interesting question:
What's the greater $ amount? First place in this tournament (#wsop37) or total wagered on NBA game by people playing in the tournament?Follow @tchanpoker
Andy Bloch has recently taken his seat in this event. Last year, Bloch officially crossed his name off the list of best players never to win a bracelet when he took down a seven-card stud event, defeating Barry Greenstein heads-up to win the $126,363 first-place prize. Bloch already has three cashes at this year’s World Series of Poker, and is rapidly approaching the $3,000,000 mark in WSOP earnings. He’ll surely surpass that milestone if he’s able to win his second bracelet in this event.
