Eastgate Victimized by Cooler

Vanessa Selbst and Peter Eastgate were playing the last of the Round of 32 matches. They paused their play so that they could be switched to the feature table. On the very first hand at the feature table, Selbst was dealt {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} against Eastgate's {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}.

"Are you serious?" Selbst asked when she saw Eastgate's hand. "First hand at the feature table?"

Yes indeed, and it was bad news for Eastgate. He was eliminated after failing to improve on a {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades} board. Selbst is on to the Sweet 16.
