Players are being moved around the room as certain tables knock out their short stacks with alacrity, and the temperature slowly rises. I thought they were breaking Phil Hellmuth/Andy Bloch's table, but no -- both players are just out, too. Bloch said something about kings, with an opponent's fives and deuces (or possibly 5-5-5) housing up to take him out, while Hellmuth waxed a little more lyrical.
"It's a little frustrating," he admitted, "I've played super tight -- aces, kings, aces...and lost every pot. I mean you fly all this way...and so many people play so badly." [pause] "Do they spread Chinese here?"
