You Should Know Better
Doyle Brunson is sitting low on chips and just made a completion bet. Apparently he said "come and get me" when he threw the bet out. Everyone folded to his completion. After the hand, Scotty Nguyen said "When he says come and get me baby, you know not to come baby."

Tony G Running Out Of Powah?
Tony G has made a surge late in the evening despite giving off the vibes of someone disinterested in playing. He's had his head tucked into the collar of his jacket for quite some time and has been spotted "resting" his eyes on several occasions.
A few moments ago we spotted him in a hand where the action was on him and Tony was genuinely fast asleep. One of his opponents had to give Tony a shout to wake him up to play his hand!
We've just ticked past 2 a.m. so that's pretty understandable, but good luck to the person who disturbs Tony while he sleeps! -
