Men “The Master” Nguyen and Steve Watts from England have been sat next to each other since before the bubble today and the jokes, or “banter” as they call it in England, flying between them has seen them strike up a friendship with plenty of teasing each other.

Nguyen is calling Watts German and telling him to speak English to which Watts replied, “Hello, darling,” which cracked Nguyen up. Watts then called Nguyen his Indian friend which prompted The Master to jokingly call the floor.

Poker is still going on at the same time with Nguyen shoving from the small blind over an open. Watts folded the big blind and the original raiser mucked so Nguyen showed his {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

On the next hand, the same player opened, Nguyen folded the button and it was Watts who moved all in from the small blind. This time the player in the big blind called to put Watts at risk of elimination.

Watts: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Big blind: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades}.

Watts got a big double-up and the friendship now has more time to blossom. Nguyen said he had never visited England; maybe an invitation will be forthcoming?
