Coolers Abound

The early eliminations, as usual, are the results of big flops. Two players on Table 9 got the chips in on a flop of {J-Spades}

. One player had ace-jack for top two pair; the other had a pair of jacks for middle set. The player with ace-jack must have gotten a sinking feeling when his opponent asked, "Do you have pocket aces?" before he called and the cards were revealed.

The board bricked out from there and we were short one player.
