Quoss Sends Convey to the Rail
Well-known poker blogger Marc Convey had the opportunity to play in today's event, but unfortunately for him and all his supporters, he was never able to get anything going.
In what would be his last hand, Fabien Quoss opened for 600 on the button and Convey moved all in for right around 4,800 from the big blind. Quoss made the call and was behind.
Showdown
Convey: 
Quoss: 
The 
seemed harmless enough, even giving Convey a pair of fives, but the dealer burned and turned the to give Quoss a pair of kings and the lead. The 
river failed to provide deliverance, and Convey made an early exit.
"Everything that could go wrong today did," Convey told us after the elimination. "It was a rough one."
