How To Remedy Boredom at the Poker Table

It seems some of the players in today’s #1.5k NLHE event may already be a little bored. We spotted Adam “Roothlus” Levy (pictured at right) and Craig “MrCasino” Gray watching soccer on Adam’s phone. Adam said that the other day he got so bored during a tournament that he watched three episodes of South Park on his phone.
Phil “USCphildo” Collins fills his downtime at the poker table by text messaging the P5s cell phone. One text we received today said, “I seriously wonder if some of these ppl have ever played poker before. LOL at these $1,500 fields. I could probably train a monkey to play better.” We wish Phil much luck in his future monkey training efforts and we have to wonder how much more painful it would be if a monkey, rather than a human, was to suck out on the river. The world may never know.
The 48 players remaining in event #34, the $1.5k PLO w/ Rebuys tournament have started play over in the Brazilia room and while some P5ers such as Tim “Tmay420″ West have a good sized stack (168k) and should more easily be able to make it into the money, others like Jamie “TheNew” Robbins are short stacked (23k) and will need to make a move early in play today to avoid being sent to the rail. 36 players will cash in this tournament so hand for hand play is definitely not far away.
