If You Plan on Coming Down to the Rio, it Might be Wise to Bring an Extra Layer

Livello 4
: 75/150, 0 ante
We were just checking out the action at a table when Jeremy Adler of Montreal, Quebec, Canada who was in shorts and a t-shirt commented about how freezing he was. You would think that someone from the Great White North would be used to the cold but nope. So we asked him if we could get him a sweatshirt and he said that would be great. He handed us $50 and we we’re on our way over to the official WSOP store next to the poker kitchen to buy him a sweatshirt. We quickly returned to hand it to him and it was a perfect fit! Adler was sitting with around 11,000 in chips when we left him.
So let this be a reminder, if any of you plan on coming down to the Rio, take Tony Dunst’s advice and bring an extra layer with you. If it’s too hot, you can always remove it and if it gets cold, you can put it back on.

Adler Still Cold Despite Now Having a Sweatshirt
Livello 4
: 75/150, 0 ante
Jeremy Adler wasn’t actually cold anymore but this hand certainly didn’t help him heat up. He raised to 400 in middle position and the button called. The flop came 
and Adler made it 400 to go again. His opponent moved all in for 1,625 though and Adler released his hand. However he was still sitting with a healthy stack of about 7,000.
Big Stacks Emerging

Brotherly Love
