Different Strategies
Between hands Ali Eslami and David Grey conversed about the different approaches and finer points one needs to consider when playing in a World Series of Poker event, as opposed to a World Poker Tour event. Grey advocated a very aggressive push around the money bubble of the WPT.

Darrell Dicken: $113,000
