"Whooooo! I'm no longer in the boy's club," said Steve Richman, by far the liveliest player in the Amazon Room, after taking down a pot that temporarily relieved him of short-stack status.

Steve's girlfriend is here watching the action and she said of Steve, "Trust me -- he's like that 24/7...continuously talking...and when I get tired of it, I just roll over and go to sleep."

Half the room is thankful for Steve's presence, however, because without him here, they'd all fall asleep.
