Nit Watch 2008 by Jessica on 06.25.08, 5:20 pm

With all the loose play in the $1K rebuy, several players have been throwing out some loaded accusations and dropping the “n” word—you know, nit.  Jeff “yellowsub” Williams was the first to start throwing around the accusation towards one of his tablemates.  Williams quipped, “yeah, but he’s a nit–he’ll look before he moves all-in, its no fun.”  Although, as we mentioned earlier, Williams shouldn’t have trouble finding action elsewhere at his table considering Sorel “Imper1um” Mizzi is seated to his left.  Not to mention that Williams has already worked his stack up to 27K.

When we last checked in with Jeremy “Chipsteela” Menard, he had built his chips up to 16K with pocket aces.  Since then, Jeremy (pictured left) has not shown down a hand and the others at his table have begun accusations that he is a nit.  JC “PrtyPSux” Alvarado claimed, “we could put Allen Kessler and Steve Zolotow at this table and you would still be the biggest nit here.”  This comment led to the mutual decision by the table that Menard would now be known as “Chainsaw Jr.” and Roland de Wolfe even went so far as to dig out his $10 food voucher the players receive when they register for the tournament and throw it Jeremy’s way.

Adam “akat11″ Katz is struggling to build a stack in the rebuy event.  He was recently moved to a table with Mike “UNCC” Sowers and Ben “bfineman” Fineman.  Adam got it all-in on a flop of 98X with JT only to realize he had less outs than he thought because his opponent held Q3.  The flush hit on the turn and with no 7 to save Adam, he was forced to reach into his pocket and rebuy.

After the hand, Adam summed up his day by noting, “I flopped an open-ended straight flush draw and got in all in basically drawing dead.  I hate you internet kids.”  One such internet kid he may be referring to is Adam “Roothlus” Levy (pictured right), who is sitting at the table next to Katz’s and has already worked his way up to 19.5K and said to his friends that, so far, he is only in for the minimum buy-in.

Some other players off to a fast start include:
Brock “t_soprano” Parker - 22K
Ben “bfineman” Fineman - 21.5K
Danny “THE_D_RY” Ryan - 18K
Dan “Wretchy” Martin - 14.2K
Matt “mattg1983″ Graham - 14K
Aaron Been - 13K
Eric “Rizen” Lynch - 13K
