After Dinner Poker
The atmosphere after the dinner break is usually markedly different to the preceding six hours of play and here at the Isle of Man UKIPT that has proved to be the case. Short stacks with little room for manoeuvre are looking to get it in and there have already been a slew of bust outs.
The other thing that happens is that players with full bellies are thirsty for a drink. Some more than others. Isle of Man Chef of the year Darren "Tam Beetroot" Woods offered to buy Chris Moneymaker a drink and he asked for a Bourbon and Coke. Informed that this was unavailable at Vila Marina he said, “That sucks. I’ll get one at the end of the day.” Woods then ordered himself, “Three Sambucas and a pint of lager.”
When told there was four more hours of poker to play Woods was unimpressed saying, "I'm here for a good time, not for a long time."
