While we do need to make mention of the pot that just played out at the final table, that wasn't the original intention of this post. Travis Greenwalt did just triple barrel on a board reading 8♠ A♣ 3♦ 5♠ 2♣ against Ideal Morina, building up a pot worth close to 1,500,000 before Greenwalt announced himself all-in on the river. Ideal eventually released his hand, and the two would basically swap chip stacks (Travis chipped up to 3,000,000, while Morina ended up with 1,600,000 after the hand).
It was only a few moments before that hand that something very interested was spotted at the final table. There are no iPads...no sunglasses...no headphones...this final table consists of eight players, their chips, and their cards. Having covered poker for a very long time, I can safely say that this is one of the first times I can remember a table free of any electronics. That doesn't make this final table and better or worse than others that have come before it, but it definitely was something surprising when it was noticed.
