Level 2

Shaun Deeb has taken his seat in the mixed triple draw lowball event.

"I have to go bust some people," the floorman told Deeb.

"I might just have to bust myself," replied Deeb.

"Why would you want to bust yourself?" asked the floorman.

"Because I want to give you guys more money," said Deeb.

"Well, just take me out to dinner," recommended the floorman.

"Hey, if you guys ever have a night off, I'd be down for that," said Deeb.

Deeb still has hopes of spinning up his first bullet, though he's had a slow start thus far.
