Breaking Brasilia

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

A lot of tables are breaking in Brasilia with most players going to Amazon, but Chris Moneymaker got a table move to another in the same room. He opened for 300 declaring, “I’m not stealing.” One player called and another raised to 1,350. Moneymaker joked that he much preferred his previous table and folded his hand.

Some notables in the room seem to be having less fun, including David Vamplew and Andrew Lichtenberger who have around half the chips they started with.

"Hey Johnny," a player at Johnny Chan's table just yelled. "How about when we get heads up you take the bracelet and I'll take the money?"

"Don't you have enough money?" the player continued.

"Haha, you can never have enough money!" Chan replied with a big smile, as he's looking to make another nice run in this tournament.
