Kara Scott’s Fun Table

The table that seems to be enjoying themselves the most today includes Canadian Pro Max Droege, Team Party Poker Player Kara Scott and a recent joiner Dominik Nitsche. In one corner of the table are sat three recreational players, Ali Baskan from Turkey, Majid Noubarian from Iran and Selcuk Ayaz also from Turkey.
Droege is sat to the left of them and has been prompting the conversation all day, getting them to show cards, laughing about who is chip leader and making sure they have a good time while he extracts as many chips as possible from them. Ayaz has been returning the favour by getting up to pranks like sending Droege’s fruit away.
