Event 9: Things Seen and Heard During a Bubble

Amazing what conversations take place when you're hand-for-hand on a tournament bubble.

- One table got into a conversation debating whether saying "I have to fold" is a binding action or not.  A 10 minute discussion ensued with no one seeming to know the definitive answer and many variants and clarifiers added to make it even more interesting.

 - Peter Ippolito, who burst the bubble, was a tad anxious to get back to the table after he stepped away.  Running past media and the tournament director, he crashed into the side of the table spilling his drinks.  When asked why he was in such a hurry considering he had a sizable stack, he responded that there were "giant people" in his way.

Ippolito's party foul resulted in the table having to be vacated after the bubble burst due to felt saturation.  No word whether he'll be receiving a reduction in his payout for a cleaning bill.
