How can I concentrate with 1080P in the room?

1st ($55 / 10pts): Aaron "Is he Fu**ing with me? Surely he's Fu**ing with me" W
2nd ($10/ 7pts): Eric "I've got pocket 3's" H
3rd ($0 / 4pts): Paul "Runner Runner Quads" S
4th ($0 / 2pts): Adam "Delivery High" J

Low Stakes / 9 Players / 1 Table / 1:15am Endtime

1080P. It has nothing to do with skateboarding. It has everything to do with 2,073,600 pristine pixels being refreshed every 8.3 milliseconds, perfectly distracting Adam, Paul, & Eric just enough to allow me to take the bracelet for the evening.

The were two instances of quads tonight. One by Martin, one by Paul. Paul's being runner runner quads to beat an over pair. Neither being dramatic game changers.

The most interesting hand of the evening (in my opinion), came between Eric and I that likely ultimately could have decided the night in favor of Eric. We were 3 handed, button on Paul, my small blind, Eric's big blind. Paul Folds, I complete with Qs9s, Eric Checks. Flop is 9c5c3s. I check, Eric bets. I raise. Eric states emphatically, "I don't believe you have crap. I have pocket 3's. I call. I mean I'm all-in." Eric's erroneous call takes us to the turn. The turn is 10h. I would have been pretty sure I was ahead at this point, had Eric not announced his apparent trips in his hand. The pot was significantly large at this point. I assumed that Eric knew that a pair of 3's and pocket 3's were entirely different hands. This was my error, which would ultimately turn out in my favor. I'm not sure if he's F*cking with me or not, so I check . Eric checks. River is 2 or something. I check, still giving Eric credit that he knows the difference between Pocket 3's and a pair of 3's., Eric bets. I have to fold thinking Eric has Trips. Eric shows' two pair, 3-10 from the turn and takes down the pot.

The night ended uncerimoniously with my middle pair beating Eric's bottom pair.

I was of course fortunate enough to have my back to Adam's new toy the entire night. It should be noted that Adam, Paul, and Eric all had clear views of this icon of manliness. I'm quite confident that this contributed to my good fortune. I'm hoping next week that his new table lamp will arrive: Here
