Of course that was after I struggled with the Dropbox fiasco process

I think I got it now.

Johnny Chan does not get respect because he is a degen. Baccarat? $500 minimum? Wow.

It's all relative Mr. 2018.

$500 probably means a bit more to you than it does to Mr. Chan.

Yup. That's a whole buy in for me.

In 2000 Chan had just won a big pot and a kid jumped over the rail and dumped a gigantic Big Gulp right on top of his head. All hell broke loose.

Why?

Five years previously the kid was dealing to Chan and after he had lost a big pot Chan threw the cards in his face as hard as he could.

The kid waited five years to get his revenge.

I saw the whole thing from the rail.

Chan is a real class act.

I am surprised Chan and Greenstein are down to grinding 20/40 holdem. Were 200/400 limit games that soft around 2000? However, they are still playing and grinding games they can beat.
