Here's a funny story. It was starting to get fairly deep into the tournament. More than half the people had been knocked out of the tournament. I transferred tables and my poker instincts were kicking in.
So the first thing I'm doing when I get to the table is looking at all the chips stacks and seeing the sizes of them and relation to where they are to me on the table. I look at the stack to my immediate left and he is a monster chip leader not just at the table but of the tournament to that point. I look up to see that monster chip leader is none other than Brad Treliving! I say to him "It doesn't surprise me that you're a good poker player". He proceeded to tell me that he is not a good poker player and that he is gone all in blind for the past eight hands and won them all when what he was wanting to do was lose because he had to leave. I then watched him win the next three hands by going in all-in blind. He then finally just got up and left has he said he had too much to do and had to go.
Shortly after that they broke the table and I was seated between Kristin Hallett and Derek Wills. They were such great people and I was having such a good time and conversation with both of them I forgot to take a picture. Here's one of Brad though.
