Mackey's Unique Fan

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Every time James Mackey wins a pot he has one railbird in the stands that stands up and yells "Oh, yeah" with a creepy gyrating motion.

It's less of a yell and more of a moan.

The tournament floorman commented, "Oh great, that guy is back."

Apparently the same fan was present at a recent final table that Blair Hinkle was at and did the same thing every time Hinkle won a pot.

Nelson Wins Some off Neil
