Pelton Takes One
The flop came . Tran checked, and Pelton quietly pushed out 12 green chips -- a bet of 300,000. Tran thought for about a minute, then folded. Pelton has 1.1 million.
I say "quietly" because the ten players are rarely saying a word, letting the chips do the talking instead. Meanwhile, the 40 or so railbirds continue to chat away, creating a cacophony of sound here in the front corner of the Brasilia.
