Goonawardne's Railbirds

[user25067]
[user25067]
Local player Marlon Goonawardne has drawn such a large flock of railbirds that they have completely clogged the foot traffic on the floor. One supervisor just had to leave the tournament area in order to move them closer to the rail.

Two of them managed to sneak up behind me just a few minutes ago.

"You know his nickname is 'Fish', right?"

Fish or not, Goonawardne has 1.1 million out of the 1.85 million chips in play.

Kruger Down to 200K

Marlon Goonawardne raises to 23,000 from the small blind, David Kruger re-raises to 60,000 from the big blind, Goonawardne moves all in and Kruger ultimately folds the {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades} face-up. Kruger is now down to 200,000.

Monster-stacked Marlon Goonawardne raised to 13,000 from UTG and Steve "Steve-O" Leonard moved all in from the small blind. Goonawardne showed the {A-Spades}{10-Hearts} as he folded and Leonard mucked his cards.

"I showed you... why didn't you show me?" laughed Goonawardne. His stack is now past the 1M mark.
