Ah, it's a hard life.
As action was about to start, I walked by Justin Bonomo and noticed him reading 'Establishing a Tight Table Image' by Allen Cunningham. Knowing of Justin's aggressive style and reputation, I leaned down and told him "Justin, I don't think it's gonna work." Justin (in the three seat) laughed and replied, "Yeah, but there's another reason to read it," and nodded his head across the table -- Allen Cunningham was in the six seat.

Gary has always been a chatty, amicable personality among the poker scene, but recently he has startled a few onlookers with his bright green hair. When I inquired about his new Riddler-esque hairdo, the reply was a surprising one:
"I'm actually trying to create a bit of awareness about climate changes and global warming," commented Gary, "so any online commentary you can give me on the topic would be most welcomed."
Your wish is my command Gary, and although you look admittedly ridiculous at this point in time, I commend your efforts in using poker as a base of raising social awareness, much like the Ante Up For Africa event that we witnessed last night.
Poker-wise, Gary is actually playing in today's HORSE event, running well with 16,000. Unfortunately, I'm unable to get my mitts on a picture of Gary and his sparkling barnet, but watch this space.
Mark Vos: "I'm a bit bored, no one seems to be getting knocked out."
Barny Boatman: "Kirk Morrison seems to be really tired. He was calling my bets in Razz with high cards, which was odd. I had actually picked up a set of threes, but he wasn't to know that with what I was showing."
Catman: "I was around average for a while but am now down to less than my starting stack after being duped in a three-way pot."
Kevin Daly: "The structure's more deadly than you might think. One hand with reraises and you've dropped 2.5K."
I also had my wits about me in the urinals, but Mel Judah and Pascal Perrault were doing their business in silence. Perhaps they detected a spy in their midst...
