"See You Guys Tomorrow"
That's what Bill Perkins told the table after busting this tournament for the third time today.
Perkins was the first player eliminated, promptly rebought, and busted again. He hoped the third time would be the charm, but alas a nasty river card showed that today truly is not his day.
It happened when Steve O'Dwyer raised to 9,000 under the gun and Perkins, who was to his direct left, three-bet jammed for his last 24,500. Action folded back to O'Dwyer, who called.
O'Dwyer: 
Perkins: 
Perkins was a heavy favorite, and his kicker kept him out in front when the 
flop paired both players. The 
turn was of no consequence, but the 
river was. O'Dwyer spiked his card and Perkins was out.
"The power of Steve O'Dwyer," Perkins said with a smile before informing everyone that he would fire a fourth bullet tomorrow (remember, late registration is open until the start of play on Day 2).
