Stapleton On Brand Early

GeoffFisk

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Joe Stapleton came over to his new table with a second-bullet registration slip, and gave PokerNews an updated chip count of 10,000.

"Are you afraid that's as high as you'll get today?" asked tournament director Bob, to which Stapleton replied yes. Stapleton then realized he hadn't been given his new chips, and Bob was called back over.

"This is my natural state," quipped Stapleton, referring to the lack of chips. That got a laugh from Bjorn Peterson, who admitted he was trying to come up with a joke of his own for the situation, but couldn't come up with anything fast enough.

"I'm literally here for your amusement," said Stapleton.
