Pros on the Rail

Marcel Luske playing in Event #42

Tournament Director Jack Effel introduced Marcel Luske as "the most well dressed man from Belgium." Marcel Luske is a snazzy dresser except that he's from Amsterdam in the Netherlands, not from Belgium.

Also in the crowd was Gavin Smith, who wandered around clutching a cocktail.

2002 WSOP bracelet winner Perry Friedman has been in the stands on and off over the last few hours. My favorite Perry Friedman story was when he ate a Keno crayon for $1.

Hand #113 - Jerry Yang

Hand #113 - Jerry Yang has the button in seat 4, he raises to 2 million, and Tuan Lam calls from the small blind. The flop comes {J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, Lam bets 3 million, Yang raises to 9 million, and Lam thinks for about two minutes before he folds. Jerry Yang wins the pot, and a few fans in the crowd start weakly cheering "U.S.A.! U.S.A.!"

The chant seems to be more about good-natured fun than anything else, because the foreigners still alive at the final table (representing South Africa, Russia, and Canada) have such strong national support in the crowd.
