A pass through Amazon Orange just now saw Ludovic Lacay raising and taking blinds and antes on one table. Then a player at David Paredes's table opened for 10,000 from middle position, Paredes reraised to 28,500 from the button, and the original raiser got out.
Finally Greg Mueller saw his neighbor to the left raise to 8,500 from the cutoff. "You just can't help yourself, can you?" joked Mueller, then he reraised to 18,000, forcing the blinds out and the original raiser to let his hand go as well.
