Gene Fisher Eliminated

Gene Fisher - Eliminated
Gene Fisher - Eliminated
Stud-8:

The exact action is unclear but Gene Fisher was all in against Ralph Perry and headed to the river he was in the lead. Fisher showed {4-Clubs} {6-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {A-Spades} for two pair.

Perry had {Q-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} showing and after the river was dealt, he slowly peeked at his last card. In what might be perceived as a slow-roll, Perry squeezed his river card ever so slowly... so slowly that some players at the table told him to just flip it over already... before slapping the {K-Hearts} down and yelling "Boom!"

Despite the theatrics, Gene Fisher was forced to make his exit and did so gracefully.

After the hand, Perry was adamant that he did not slow-roll Fisher, despite what some spectators thought.
