Table Talk
In the back room, Gavin Smith is once again telling his table about what a drinker he is. Today his estimation of his 2009 drinking is that he had 20 or more drinks 340 days out of last year -- down from yesterday's estimation of 345 days.
Phil Ivey, who started in the overflow room,is now at a table in the center of the main tournament room. His seat gives him n excellent view of a large projection against one wall which is showing live coverage of the Masters. Ivey's eyes are continuously darting towards the coverage, as Tiger Woods is scheduled to tee off at 1:42pm, in about 30 minutes. Yesterday Ivey booked action with David Singer on Tiger to win, getting better than 5-to-1.
