Trivia Answer

Ok, so we admit, the trivia question was a bit of a trick question (don't blame me; I didn't come up with the question). After Troy Tsagaris was eliminated in 82nd place at the 2008 Aussie Millions Main Event, the tournament went into "bubble mode," with each table playing hand-for-hand. Roughly half an hour later, two players moved all in on separate tables at the same time. Both players lost the hand and were therefore deemed to be simultaneously eliminated. Thus the answer that we were going for was:

Charles Cuschieri and Lucio Baroni

Who were simultaneous bubble boys and thus chopped 80th-place prize money. They still showed a net loss for the tournament, but it was better than a kick in the head.

The first person to post the answer in the Shout Box was David Docherty supporter "PFUsqrl." We will be contacting PFUsqrl later in the day to arrange enrollment in the satellite qualifier.

There's one more satellite seat up for grabs. We'll post a second trivia question to the blog later in the day, and we promise -- the answer will be much more straightforward.
