It's Getting Cold In Here, So Take Out All Your Bets
There was some dissent on the floor, but it was quickly beaten down.
Pretty much a whole table - David Blatte, Said Elsanafiri, Erich Kollmann, Barbara Lewis, Hani Awad and Alex Kravchenko - all attempted to boycott the tournament owing to how incredibly cold it was at their table. Everyone except Lewis Lipsey refused to put their antes in, until the TD came over and told them they had to. It's a freezeout, after all.

Power to the people! The whole table has now been moved to somewhere a little further away from the air con vents. It was a brave TD who messed with Alex Kravchenko anyway, in our opinion.
Over at the next table, which is equally cold, players started to grumble.
Player 1: "Apparently we're not complaining enough."
Player 2, wearing an enormous parka jacket: "I'm fine."
Player 1: "Well you would be, you look like you're about to climb Everest. Hey can I buy that off you?"
