Overheard at the Tables
"Film this guy here!" said Assadourian, pointing to the player in Seat 1. "He's winning every second pot."
Seat 1 responded, "The final table would be better though."
Assadourian agreed. "Yeah, of course, but this can't hurt."
Except for that exchange, the players have been unusually quiet. Perhaps the rule that only English can be spoken at the table while a hand is in play is curtailing some of the table chatter -- many of the players in the field clearly do not speak English. The fact that the ceiling is forty feet overhead certainly doesn't help, as all of the conversation gets lost in the void of space about the tournament floor.
