Dan's hand is set, having
finally gathered "enough" Lakeshore Inn quarters (thanks
@LabMonkey ) by making change from the pots. His cards are well protected by the entire Gangster Squad, and
@Mr. Cheese is anticipating a nice Espresso infused snack at the next break. It's the "Best Cheese" there is, it says so right on the label.

"Soc" aka Mike aka
@Poker Zombie has done well at the Aria, with his deliberate and logical calculations + play. He's using neighbor
@Ben 's Aevum Rusticum card protector (doubles as a serving platter) for luck, and was fortunate enough to also have been dealt a Beta Black Lotus. Not bad! He's coming home ahead in this game, as long as he doesn't muck the Lotus with his hand.
@Mrs Poker Zombie would be proud.

@ChipEnvy has been under the weather, but has both a hot hand and a high temp. The only prescription ... is more cowbell ... and apparently TRKs! Ricky Fowler is on the rail, cheering him on (and apparently playing through the poker game).

The
@k9dr has done well, gathering all the ACF tournament chips in the next Melee tournament. Or course, Mark got a Queen. His cards are flanked by the entire Suicide Queen chip host, and The Wall is protected by the Suicide Queen's hubby: the Night King. Clearly, we are well north of The Wall up here in Minnesota, and Jon Snow just doesn't travel this far north regardless of how hot that Wildling redhead might be (very). Current temp: -6F. Tonight's low: -11F. Cue the music, Mark, I'm all in!

@superchromix 's hand? Das ist schade, aber vielleicht kann er noch gewinnen! Consulting the dictionary: "That is too bad, but perhaps he can still win!" (At least that's what my rusty high school German can come up with). Any two cards can win, especially if he pushes that massive wall of Mapes into the pot on a stone cold bluff.
@bergs knows what that feels like, from the latest DCS showdown.

With Braydon on the rail, I wouldn't want to bet against Bill aka
@detroitdad . At least he still has plenty of ammunition with all those pretty Pick Hobson's, regardless of this hand. The sunset chips are a nice soothing reminder of good times (and better cards). I like playing a hand like 73s every once in a while. Nobody sees 73 coming, right...?

@slisk250 has obviously been in God Mode at the 2/4 limit table. As memories of the Rumble start to gently fade, the anticipation of the Great Divide has begun to build.
@abby99 and I are putting on our Circus Maximus planning hats, and getting ready for the drive. Even if Mike's T6s doesn't hold up, there are more meet-up chips collected and waiting in the wings for his triumphant desert return!

@bonesnjnts has done well with the Horseshoes. $0.25/$0.50 limit anyone? Beautiful
@Gear re-labels are in full effect on the tri moon snappers. Those pocket 5s are set to grind down the table like the acetabular reamer card protector that is likely his (with a username like that)! Don't look it up on ORLive if you have a sensitive stomach. Yes, it's basically a round cheese grater ... for bone. What to do with the winnings? I'm guessing
TRK large crowns....

@Toby is sporting towers of some of the best $5s on the planet.
@pltrgyst can testify to that! I'm won some big hands with 53o, and maybe he'll finally be able to convince
@Redbelly to get him one of the canvases! It makes a lovely backdrop for some sneaky cards. Good luck catching a wheel!

Who let the Alamo host in the game? I don't like playing against my favorite card in the deck, the nine of clubs. Especially when it's in the hands of
@David O . That's bad juju for sure, but the dangler offsuit deuce makes me feel better. I've got the 9c on the wall to pronounce my claim to the card, so what an appropriate background. At least David is going to have fun this hand picking out spotted birds from his other Flamingo chips. I'm not feeling the 92o love. The turtle is seeing some competition from a ladybug, WTF is up with that?

Any now on to my cards.... Lots of pretty Vineyards in play again. Honestly, what else did you expect? ;-) I only wish my WCB cashout was this good
@Jeff 's place! At least
@Ronoh got to play with live hundos at the WCB. I peeled two cards off the top from the stub and BAM! I'm pleased to see a big hand for a change, but with 11 players I'm going to need to dodge most of the deck. But, if you can dodge a wrench....

All is good in the world tonight. I have the table covered, and I'm playing cards. Two of my favorite things....

Now, let's see a FLOP!

:
. You were close on the handgun. The little black one is my CC Ruger LCP Custom. The full size is a Ruger KP95 (My first gun purchase ever so it's got a soft place in my heart).
