Can You Here Me Now?

A great deal of noise and commotion has suddenly surrounded the Big-Stack Pot-Limit Omaha final table, as a Survivor tournament that recently ended has sent upwards of a dozen players to collect their winnings.

The tournament staff has a desk about two feet from the final table, and that is where 12 or more boisterous players have just assembled to collect their payout tickets after cashing in the aforementioned Survivor tourney.

The players are having trouble hearing one another's verbalized bets, and at least one final table member (ironically, our mystery man in the eight seat who declined to give his name for such an "unimportant" event) has asked the floor for an explanation.

"This is the last table..." he said with frustration evident in his voice. "Why we can't we have quiet here?"

Nothing can be done though, and play rolls on with the raucous celebration continuing just a few feet away.
