Alan Smurfit Eliminated

[user22113]
[user22113]
After a flop of {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, Alan Smurfit was all in with {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} against another player's {Q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Smurfit was behind with top set against his opponent's flush, and needed the board to pair to stay alive. But the last two cards were {6-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, and Alan Smurfit was eliminated.

Winding Down

Empty cups litter the floor, chip bags are being passed out and the "Bellagio Finish" is in place. With 15 minutes to go in the last round of the day, one card is drawn and that determines how many more hands will be played tonight.

Three more hands tonight.

This in theory prevents stalling at the end of a day.

As BJ says: "a good solution to a non-problem."

Day 1a Completed
