Gerald Ringe and Chino Rheem are seated next to each other and Rheem is talking to his neighbor about WSOP bracelets.
"You won a bracelet in stud eight? Do you play hold'em? Was stud eight your favorite game before you won the bracelet?"
Ringe nods, though it's not clear exactly which of Rheem's questions he's answering. He did, indeed, win a bracelet in seven card stud hi/lo eight or better last year.
"I don't have a bracelet." Rheem says. "Bracelets are the fucking thing in poker. Nobody says 'I have a WPT.'"
