Funniest Story: In the Tunica Classic Tournament of 02 we had a player who we thought was having a heart attack. we called the EMT's and had to stop the tournament of 236 entries because this player was laid out on the floor in between tables. After about 15 mins this player told the Emt's he was feeling better and wanted to play after refusing to go by ambulance to the hospital. He resumed his position at the table and starting playing the next hand when chest pains came back again. He would not leave the table untill he stacked his chips from the winning hand. Turned out to be a gall bladder attack and not a heart attack. But he is a real poker player refusing to leave until he had the win.

If you could change anything in the poker world, what would it be?
Players berating other players for hands that they play. Who ever said a winning hand needed an explanation!
