Forrest on Fire

An unfortunate incident for Pippa Flanders, who has dropped down to just 6,000. I arrived in time to see Brent Forrest, resplendent in an enormous green top hat made of velveteen, all in with {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} and Flanders flipping over {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}; Barny Boatman told me he had also had {A-?} {K-?} and had called a raise with it, but passed when first Forrest shoved and then Flanders re-shoved.

Board: {8-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {6-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {4-Spades}

Forrest now has 34,000.
