Overpair Overplayed

We've seen our first player hit the rail. Three players saw a flop come Q-x-2. It checked to the button who bet, then the player in first position check-raised all in. The third player reraised all in, and the button got out of the way.

The initial all-in raiser turned over pocket kings, while his opponent, who had him covered showed pocket deuces for the flopped set. The turn and river bricked out, and one player's day has ended after just a few hands.

Most tables have seven, eight, or nine players sitting around them, though there are quite a few open seats here at the very start of today's event, meaning a there are a few tables here and there playing three- and four-handed.

We are about 15 minutes from the start of Event No. 34, a $1,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em tourney. Players are starting to arrive at the tables to show dealers their registration cards and photo IDs. There are presently 1,600 registered for the event, but that number will surely rise over the next couple of hours. Back in a few.
