Mike Rieck just came by the media desk, telling us that he had just been the victim of a cruel beat when his turned set of nines fell to a rivered set of aces by his opponent, after all the money went in on the turn.
We went to the table and saw that it was James Burns, who started the day off with an elimination, continuing his hot streak as he stacked up the last of Rieck's chips.
"A good turn for him, good river for me!" Burns said with a smile as he now commands a six-figure stack in the early stages of Day 1c play.
