Overheard at the Tables

PokerNews blogger Marc Convey recently joined Noah Schwartz's table. "Not working today?" Schwartz asked. Convey's working, just not in his usual way.

At the front of the Blue Section, Tony Dunst was giving his views on playing limit hold'em. "Either you can play a limit tournament or you can take a trip to the dentist," explained Dunst.

Surprisingly, Humberto Brenes isn't talking to anyone at his table. We've caught him with his head bowed and eyes closed a few times.

And then there was the Texan explaining to a European player what life is like in Texas. "I've got a huge ranch in Dallas -- like you've seen on TV."

"Really? I want to come over!" the European player responded.

"Yeah it's a solid one-third of an acre," the Texan added, to laughter from the table.

"Where do the cows go?" another player asked.
