Event 1: Not Even a Sweat

We watched Christopher Piccone get his last 28,000 or so chips into the middle, and after receiving a lone call, Piconne revealed {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}.

The ladies put Piccone well in front of his opponent's {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, and when the flop fell {j-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}, the hand was over in an instant.

Piccone's quad queens could not be beat, and a {5-Clubs} arrived on the turn for good measure, leaving the other player with just four-high.

As the defeated player stood to depart the tournament floor in agony, Piccone reminded him that he was still alive. An accounting of both player's stacks confirmed as much, and the player retook his seat a bit sheepishly, telling the table with a smile "I guess it's time to gamble now boys."
