Still One Short

Good news, kids.

Luke Schwartz has taken his seat, and the television crew has chosen to film his table for now. It must still be a bit early for the antics, because FullFlush is quiet as a mouse so far.

We're still waiting on Gus Hansen, the only player not in his chair yet. Hansen better hurry; his stack is being blinded off down toward twenty big blinds with a quickness.

Dyer Gone

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

After a bet from Paul Berende from the cutoff, and a call from the button, Greg Dyer in the small blind moved all-in. Berende then put all his chips at risk against the button, who folded. So it was Dyer and Berende to the flop, with Dyer all-in for his tournament life.

Dyer: {k-Hearts}

Berende:

The

board was no help to Dyer and now there is an empty seat at the table.
