Unlucky Seat Sends Out Beard While Tokko Rockets into the Lead
Level 19
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
"Wait, can I have that chair please? It's my lucky seat," Samuel Beard said to Erin Parisien as the players were being redrawn into the final three tables. Parisien hesitated for a second but obliged and Beard took his lucky seat...
Then on the very first hand, Beard, who had around 1,100,000, got involved in a preflop betting war with fellow big stack Moe Tokko, which ended when Beard moved all in and Tokko called to put him at risk in a monster pot.
Samuel Beard: K♦K♠
Moe Tokko: A♦A♠
"Wow, what a cooler," Beard sighed and shook his head in disbelief as the board ran out 3♦10♥5♣6♦4♥ to give Tokko the win and Beard was sent to the rail.
"Sick seat change," someone said as Beard exited, getting a few chuckles from the table.
