"If It Bleeds; It Leads"

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Much has been made of the decks at this year's World Series, and another deck was being brought to one of the tables in the Seniors Event, but not for the reason you might expect.

Someone — it was unclear who — was bleeding, and the cards had been flecked with blood. The floor were called, and the hands were tabled. Literally.

After being unable to get to the bottom, another new deck was brought.

"This is the third time today," said the floor as the new deck was put into action.

"Hey, you're a journalist," said one of the players. "Remember the first rule of journalism: If it bleeds; it leads."
