Sandwich Delivery for Mathers
Nível 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
The face of WSOP social media, Kevin "Kevmath" Mathers, is in a humble mood to start the day. He was just delivered a couple of sandwiches from the cafe and then noted his lack of chips already.
"I'm doing better in this than I am at poker. I have two sandwiches and 3,500 chips ten minutes in. You can report on that."
Mathers will need to spin up his stack in this fast-paced tournament if he wants to avoid hitting the registration desk for a second bullet.
