Craft Reappears for One Last Hurrah
While Mickey Craft has made his exit from the tournament, he's still managing to make his presence felt in the tournament.
Craft reappeared at his old table bearing a tray full of Patron shots. He handed one out to every player at the table to a loud roar of cheers from the rail and his old table mates, who began laughing. Some drank their shots while others protested.
"If you wanna play good, Patron!" one of the players said.
To reporters, Craft explained what he was up to and why he had bought his table a round of shots.
"I just want to say thank you to everyone for everything," Craft said. "I just wanted to make a little fun of poker. Whether you go out with king-queen or seven-deuce, it's all for fun. I just wanted to make a little light of these guys day and to say thank you."
While Craft may not be going further than Day 5, he certainly has made a big impact on many here in the tournament and will be remembered as one of the most memorable players from this year's Main Event.
