- Barry Greenstein et ancienne petite amie Mimi Tran are seated at the same table. It's well known that when they met, Barry taught Mimi poker and Mimi taught him Vietnamese. They're still extremely close, like family.
- A major chip despute came up earlier when a dealer lost track of the size of main and side potUne douzaine de voix se sont élevées simultanément lorsque Barry a demandé le silence. Celui-ci lui a été accordé par tous les participants, tandis qu'il expliquait l'action et permettait à la salle de se mettre d'accord sur sa version des faits. Nous appelons cela le respect.
- Barry is one of three players left in the field of fifty-seven who made the final table last year, along with Mike Simon et le Greg Muller.
- I didn't list Joe Pelton in 'Who's Where' today because I didn't recognize any of the other players at the table. I wanted to mention that because Joe wrote in his blog the where he sits today will have a major bearing on his tournament. If my lack of recognition means anything, it's probably very, very good.
Au fait, je dois dire que je trouve ça plutôt cool que des gars comme Joe soient prêts à passer leur temps de pause à travailler sur leurs blogs. Vous devriez apprendre beaucoup.
