Movie Time

J.C. Alvarado is sitting on Antonio Esfandiari's left at the moment. Sitting on Antonio Esfandiari's left guarantees a couple of things for a player. One, you're going to be facing numerous raises with which to contend. Also, you will be contending with various suggestions for prop bets, too.

Just now the suggestion from Esfandiari had to do with the question of which was the better film -- Braveheart or Pulp Fiction. Esfandiari favored Braveheart, while Alvarado rated the Tarantino film higher.

The prop bet had to do with predicting which film the majority of players sitting in seat 5 at three randomly-selected tables would prefer. Before they got to terms, Alvarado resisted engaging in the bet, claiming he never won any such gambles.

Alvarado does win some gambles, though, as he just now knocked out Arnold Spee to chip up to 150,000. Esfandiari is sitting with 215,000.
