Everyone's a Winner

Tournament Director Bill Bruce is keeping the mood light here in Event #1. Just a few minutes ago, Bruce made the announcement that there were professional massage therapists available in the room for hire.

"In fact," said Bruce, "we're going to give a free massage to the first table that makes a full house." Within 15 seconds, the dealer at Table 27 yelled, "Full house!" as the rest of the table stood up and beckoned the floor staff.

Walking up to the table, Aaron Kelly had {A-?} {Q-?} turned over in front of him in Seat 1, and the board had made him aces full of eights. Quickly, nine massage therapists descended on the players, and Table 27 is now officially the most relaxed table in the room.
