Marathon 10-Handed Night/Morning

Tao of Pokerati

A security guard asked us if this was the longest final table bubble ever. \”That\’s a good question,\” said Pauly. It\’s by far been the longest we can remember. And while it\’s possible such a 10-down-to-9 occurred back in the old days … I highly doubt it. It\’s a testament to the value of making the November Nine, if anything, and ironic how it brings us back to the old-old days when poker tourneys were routinely settled over marathon sessions.

Episode 76: On and On and On and On with Benjo — Some four hours into the Final Table of 10, people are getting antsy about getting to the November Nine. Alcohol is wearing off and drugs are kicking in … causing some people to sleep on chairs and others to run randomly across the Amazon. (Everyone\’s got the munchies, but the cupboard is bare!) Tony the security guard gets nervous about his staff having to go home at 7am, and the players … it\’s call-bet-fold, maybe bet-raise-fold.
