There’s some loud but clearly good-natured banter going on between Nicholas Palma and Steven Buckner, and both speak with instantly recognizable New York accents – and if you’ve spent any time with New Yorkers, it’s the kind of thing you’ve heard a hundred times but if not, well, it could seem kind of extreme.
Steven, folding, showing an Ace: “You really like to 3-bet me, don’t you?”
Nicholas: “Yeah, I was talking with my buddy last night and told him I was going to 3-bet every time you raised… But I’ll tell you, you’d better have it if you come after me, cuz, you’d better have it. You should probably have another Ace behind that one if you’re going to come after me!”
Meanwhile play continues as we wait for the next elimination to bring us to the redraw.
