Is the Real Grinders lounge a look into the future for the real grinders of Poker? Some of Pokers biggest names can be found in the lounge as you step inside. They all have the same ideas, relax, chat and rejuvenate. During the WSOP 2018 over fourteen thousand Real Grinders members could walk through the lounge where they will rest, eat & drink on their poker break. We found Jeff Madsen and Dan Heimiller hanging out there today between events. Real Grinders very own Raymond Davis was also there with quite a number of Real Grinders members lounging.
Just before the table broke, Paul Zibits and Joe Aronesty were involved in a battle of the blinds and the former bet all streets on a board of ![]()

. Once Aronesty called the final bet on the river, Zibits showed tens and nines for two pair and Aronesty then turned over his cards with the words "I scoop" before showing ![]()
![]()
![]()
for a straight and a low.
"He could have had ace deuce," Aronesty shrugged before grabbing his belongings and moving to his new table.
