Early Elimination

[user75032]

If there's an elimination in the first twenty minutes of play of a 200-big-blind tournament, it's usually a cooler. Mark Cornwell is the early beneficiary of such a hand. He flopped a set of deuces on a {Q-?}

{Q-?}

{10-?}

{2-?}

board and made quad deuces with the turn {2-?}

{2-?}

. Cornwell's unlucky opponent had the second nuts, {Q-?}

{Q-?}

{Q-?}

for a full house queens full of deuces, and couldn't get away from the hand.

We're not sure when all the chips went in the middle but we do know they're all in Cornwell's stack now. He's up to 43,000. Other early movers include Eric Assadourian and Wally Sombero.
