We stopped by Table #387 to listen to some of the banter, here a taste of what we heard:
"We're attributing to the second greatest performance in World Series history," Darryll Fish said. "It's hard not to laugh.
"White magic," Kevin Saul said. "Yes! The Brandon Cantu Show."
While all the theatrics were going on, Paul Tedeschi had moved all in before the flop against Darryll Fish. Tedeschi was holding and looking to improve against Fish's .
The board rolled out though and that was good enough for Fish to score the knock out on Tedeschi.

The floor informed him that they were in fact breaking the table. "Alright," he said, finally turning over his for just king high. Cantu finally mucked his hands and the men racked up their chips to move to a new table.
