Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
Play was about to begin here on Day 3 of the EPT Berlin High Roller, and only six of the seven players had turned up. Finnish pro Joni Jouhkimainen was missing, and the table didn't know what to do.
"Should we wait for Joni?" James Mitchell asked no one in particular.
There was no answer, until Griffin Benger spoke up.
"Yes," he agreed, then changed his mind. "Actually, no. We're playing for a lot of money. It's not our responsibility."
Right as a Finnish dealer was about to text Jouhkimainen, he came bustling through the door with two suitcases in hand.
"I have a flight in three hours," he said, sitting down. "Maybe three. I don't know."
"So you're going to be playing aggressively?" Benger asked, grinning.
"My flight's at seven," Mitchell added.
"Don't worry everybody," Martin Kabrhel interjected. "I miss my flight already."
With €429,000 on the line, we're assuming that paying for a flight change won't affect any of these players.
