Event 2: Going Crazy

$350 + $50 + 100 NLH Black Chip Bounty

Over enthusiasm in the early levels of a tournament can rub players the wrong way, but sometimes its pure joy. Jamal Ghanim, (South Plainfield, NJ) twice in the last 30 minutes, has stood on his chair and shouted after surviving a couple of all ins.

The latest comes while holding A 10 against the Q Q of Scott Eininger (Montebello, NY). Ghanim explodes with, "yes, yes yes!" when he hits trip aces to stay alive.

The players are unfazed and find Ghanim refreshing, "no hard feelings at all, I didn't want to take his $100," says Eininger, who doesn't mind forgoing the bounty he would have gotten for a knockout.

One other player chimes in, "he's good for the table, we don't want him to go."

Level 5 (150/300/25 ante) is underway.
