A Tough Table

We've just broken another table, and we followed Chris Tryba over to his new seat. He now resides in Seat 5 at Table 52, and it's a tough spot.

On Tryba's direct right is Brian Hastings, and they're sitting across the table from Jeremy McLaughlin in the nine seat. McLaughlin is well known in Atlantic City where he habitually crushes mid-level tournaments. He made a Circuit final table there in 2008, finishing in fourth place back when the buy-in was $5,000. Hastings is best known for his dominating online presence where he owns faces as "Stinger 88". And Tryba — well, he's best known for being a goofball and an all-around likable guy. He's also a guy who plays all the games pretty well, and he's got a couple WSOP final tables in Stud variations. Besides all that, he too is fairly well known around in Atlantic City, and he and McLaughlin traded a smirk across the table as Tryba took his seat.
