Tales From the Tan Section
The early stages of a limit-structured tournament can be quite, how do we say, boring. No one is in imminent danger of growing broke, and big hands are few and far between. With that said, we try our best to find a little color in the field, which we found in the Tan Section.
It was there that we saw Scott Seiver laughing it up with Moshin Charania and Chino Rheem. All three men have taken down big tournaments in the past year, though Seiver is the only bracelet winner having captured gold back in 2008. The triumvirate seem to be having a good time as they converse and joke around, though the rest of the players at the table, all of whom appear to be over the age of 50, don't seem so amused.
Meanwhile, 1998 WSOP Main Event champ Scotty Nguyen is seated a few tables down in Seat 1. That has him facing the rail and is providing spectators the perfect opportunity for a photo op. Nguyen is obliging with a smile, but please remember . . . NO FLASH.
