Adios, Atkinson

A preflop raising war broke out that left Bruce Atkinson all in and at risk against Gil Morgensztern. Neither player seemed particularly eager to table their cards, so there was about a 15-second standoff before the cards were flnally flipped up:

Atkinson: {J-Hearts} {J-Spades}
Morgensztern: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}

There wasn't much Atkinson could to about it, riding his shortening stack as far as he could. The dealer would provide no lifeline either, running out a board of {8-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {9-Hearts}.

That's another player down, and we're sitting with 27 players left. When three more of them follow Atkinson's footprints to the payout desk, Day 2 will be history.
