While a big hand was playing out at his table, Jason Mercier took a stroll around the room and stumbled upon Table 87 which included Toby Lewis, Matthew "Bucky" Wantman, and Michael Duek sitting beside each other.

"Wow, look at this table," Mercier said, engaging with them. Wantman noted that Duek's humming and whistling was starting to bother him. "Do you guys have beef?"

"We're about to!" Wantman joked.

"Take it up on the pickleball court," Mercier suggested.

"I would love to!" Duek chimed in.

"Ya, you would win, Bucky's no bueno," Mercier referred to Wantman.

Mercier returned to his seat and the cards were back in the air as usual.
