Sluggishness Reigns

Wide awake

Jason Young raises to 60,000 from early position, and is perplexed when Giannetti reraises him to 205,000. He stands up to count Giannetti's stack (Giannetti covers him), continues to look perplexed as he sits back down and dwells up, and eventually folds.

Incidentally, there is very little to report by way of table banter, local color, etc. In fact, the most colorful thing here is Sergey Rybachenko's shirt, which, festooned as it is with cards, roulette wheels and so on, seems designed to make the other players' sleep-deprived heads throb even more than they did when they prised themselves out of bed this morning. Indeed, it may be no coincidence that the most aggressive player today, and so far the most successful in terms of accruing chips, has been the player who won his table earliest last night, and hence got the most sleep of anyone.
