The Aussie apparently just got off a plane because this is his first event of the 2014 WSOP.

Richard Sklar, who is on fire here with over 75,000 in chips, understands it is rather cold in the Amazon Room.
In fact, compared to what he feels is an always warm poker room at Bellagio down the street, he says it's freezing. Ted Forrest agreed with Sklar that it's cold, even below the 70 degrees Tournament Director Jack Effel says they set the thermostats to.
But Forrest, who also plays at Bellagio regularly, says there's no way it's 20 degrees cooler here in Amazon and was considering a 1000-1 bet. Sklar was offering on the difference in temperature, until Effel told both he wasn't exactly going to bring a thermostat over to let them check.

Phil Ivey is falling fast here in Event #38: $10,000 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low Championship.
"You have no idea," he told the other players at his table. "I've had complete coolers. Six tournaments in a row I haven't lasted four hours."
Matt Glantz suggested his hourly rate must be astronomical, because either he wins these tournaments, or he's out as fast as possible.
"Just remember that next time you want to bet," Ivey responded, before possibly explaining his less than stellar start here with the information that he's been up for the past 50 hours without sleep.

"Aren't I supposed to scoop there?" he asked. "Aces up with a seven low."
"You're not Phil Ivey," said Abe Mosseri.
"That's right," added Mike Matusow. "One's going to the Hall of Fame, the other to the Hall of Shame."
