Schoenberg Puts Nickens to the Test
Over on Table 32, Erica Schoenberg and Jimmy Nickens checked through to the turn on a board. Schoenberg, the big blind, took a stab with a bet of 10,000. Nickens raised that bet to 25,000, only to see Schoenberg re-raise all in over the top. Nickens pursed his lips, counted down his stack a few times, and then mucked his hand.
"I played with you in the Bahamas and you were so tight," said Lenny Nguyen to Schoenberg after the hand. "Today you're so aggressive!"
"She had bad hands in the Bahamas," deadpanned Dave Stann.
Nguyen provided his own comedic relief ten minutes ago when an alarm started going off in his backpack. He didn't realize it until the whole table started staring at him and Stann said, "Really?" Nguyen then pulled an iPad out of his backpack but for more than a minute couldn't figure out how to shut the alarm off.
Suffice it to say he's awake now.
