NBA Finals. LA Lakers versus the Orlando Magic, game 4 in Orlando. You think Jerry Buss, the owner of the Lakers, was in Orlando? Nope. He was right here in the Rio's Brasilia room for Day One of the WSOP 7 Card Stud / Omaha 8 Hi-Lo Poker Tournament on Table 230 Seat 7.
I pushed into Table 230 just as the last quarter of the basketball game was winding down. Jerry was to my right and to my left was a big screen TV monitor silently showing the game. Just after Fisher made the three pointer to tie it up the screen went blank. It came back on, then when it went into overtime the screen went blank again, but returned after a few minutes. Jerry was getting pretty excited. At one point he even said that sometimes being there live was just too much to take because of getting so wrapped up in the game.
Sorry to say that my shift ended at that table during the overtime so I had to leave and miss Jerry's reaction to the Lakers winning the game.
