Anthony Lorenz
Anthony Lorenz

Anthony Lorenz arrived today dressed as the pope, and recalled his final hand to PokerNews from the rail. Lorenz explained that he ran his full house, tens and fives, into a bigger full house of aces and fives to end his run on the opening day.

Lorenz initially wore the costume at a No Limit Pub Poker Tour Halloween event last fall, and qualified for this tournament by winning a full Vegas package in May.

Trayler Sends Sandiford Out

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Bill Sandiford was all in, at risk against Jaimie Trayler on his immediate left.

Bill Sandiford: 88 All in
Jaimie Trayler: AA

Two other players at the table commented that they had folded pocket pairs, and Trayler would have collected their chips as well after improving to a set on the 6J47A runout.

That sent Sandiford to the rail, wishing the table good luck as Trayler collected the pot.
