New Day, New Bar for Hedlund

[user46392]

Either Peter Hedlund is out, or he's decided he just prefers the ambience at the bar outside the tournament area. Seeing as the proximity of alcohol to where he is seems to always be more important to Mr. Hedlund than the environment in which he consumes it, we are assuming that he is indeed busto.

Sarwer Latest Casualty

[user46392]

There was a raise under the gun to 2,800, and it folded around to Jeff Sarwer in the big blind who re-popped for 7,200. Mr. Under The Gun promptly made it 22,800, and Sarwer tanked up.

"I think we have the hand of all hands," said Sarwer as he dwelled. "I hate these hands. Sorry, guys."

He thought about it for a while longer, and then announced, "Ok, I'll go," and pushed his stack across the line. A call, and a showdown.

Mr. Under The Gun: {A-Diamonds}

Sarwer:

and very relieved he wasn't up against aces or kings

Board: {K-Clubs}

"Hey, nice hand," said Sarwer as he took his leave. "Take care. Bye."
