In Painter's Corner
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The absence of free cocktails in the bleachers of this final table arena hasn't dampened the spirits of Jameson Painter's fans, at least. It should be noted, however, that they've been making frequent trips to the cash bar down the hallway, and they're clearly enjoying their time on the rail in Painter's corner.
It's a group of about a dozen of his friends, most of them decked out in bright orange to match Painter's blazing "Illinois" shirt. His fans are well behaved and vocal, and they're intently focused on the action. Amid the relative quiet of the featured table arena come the occasional shouts of, "Pumpkin!!!" that echo around the stage.
Other things overheard from Painter's railbirds:
- When the T.D. said on the microphone, "Jameson Painter has the button," (in unison) "Uuuuuuuuse it!"
- When Matt Keikoan raised Painter's big blind, one quiet voice, "Awwww. Jerk."
- When Painter three-bet a raise from Brock Parker, "Threeeeeee!" (in the style of a basketball announcer)
- When Painter gave Idema a walk in the big blind, and Idema flashed two aces, "Good read, Pumpkin!!"
