Late Stages of Day 1b; Late Arrivals, Survivals, and Imbibers
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
Barny Boatman has bought in at the last moment, even later than Antonio Esfandiari. Boatman, though, had a different take on his late arrival, announcing with a slight note of alarm, “I didn’t know the blinds were going to be so high.”
On another table, Allen Kessler shoved from the small blind over a 2,000 open to win the pot without showdown, saying, “I’m alive.”
On other tables, it has reached what is traditionally known as the “beer level,” in which a few players like to let their hair down and have a drink, knowing they are close to bagging up at the end of a gruelling day of poker.
