Some People Work. I Play Poker

Kyle Bowker

There is one underlying message here today, and that can be seen on the chest of Kyle Bowker, whose shirt reads "Some people work. I play poker". At 5am, after 17 hours of play, I think even Kyle Bowker is beginning to second guess that motto.

From my perspective, anyone who makes tomorrow's final table, whichever of the remaining players they may be, will have certainly earned their crust and be fully deserving of a shot at that coveted bracelet.

Who says poker players can't be athletes?...
