Event 1: Frosty the Snowmen

We watched a player stand and make his exit from the tournament area, and a quick scan of the table told the tale.

Matt Brunskole's {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} was displayed in front of him, while an opponent's {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} was tabled nearby. The final board contained a {k-}, but fortunately for Bunskole, an {8-} had also fallen to the felt.

His set of eights downed the lone pair of kings, and Brunskole doubled his starting stack early on this Day 1B.
