First Out

Wow, it's amazing how quickly $10,000 can slip through your fingers in Vegas.

The honor of being the first to bust today goes to Mr Kim Sherlin, who got his whole stack in with top two pair on the turn against the flopped straight of Dave D'Alesandro, with one hour and 55 minutes left of level one -- that's five minutes in, to you and me.

Commiserated fellow Brit Vicky Coren from the next table, "Well, at least you were efficient. Most of us are going to waste three days here, for nothing."

We now confidently declare Mr D'Alesandro chip leader, on 60,000 in chips, give or take.
