The Pride of Kansas City
"Has Ray ever even been to Kansas City?" Those are the words of Robert Mizrachi, striking up a conversation about Ray Dehkharghani (pictured), who is at an adjacent table. "He always wears that Royals hat," he adds.
"He lives there," Daniel Negreanu says flatly.
"No way," Mizrachi doesn't believe him.
"Wanna bet?"
The threat of monetary backup is enough to make Mizrachi yield a bit. "Really?" he tries to believe.
Mike Gorodinsky suddenly joins the conversation with Negreanu. "How much were you looking to bet?"
"What, you don't believe me either?" Negreanu asks.
A discussion follows about Dehkharghani's family, who lives in Kansas City, as well as the place Dehkharghani apparently has here in Las Vegas. "He plays here too, but his home base is in Kansas City," Negreanu says. "His family is there."
"Where your family is based, that's where you live," Mizrachi adds his support.
"Yeah, if is family lives there..." Brian Rast trails off.
Gorodinsky just shrugs. "All right, family guys," he says, drawing a laugh from the table. "Whatever you say."
