01:59 EDT: Scotty Nguyen has joined the booth. It's hard to hear him, and I am not really that interested at the moment. The play at the table seems passive, but it's hard to tell because the announcers are ignoring it, like they always do when someone new shows up in booth.

Butler has A T and was called by Wasicka with 8 8. The board is Q T K K 3. Butler doubles.

01:38 EDT: The broadcast is back. They are settling back in from dinner break.
