We Tried, Andre

[user66118]

Andre Merheb caught our eye because he has been using one of our PokerNews metal card protectors today, though it appears it has done him no good. About 30 seconds after spotting our logo in front of his chips, we watched Merheb put the rest of his short stack into the pot before the flop. He held {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{9-Spades}

, and his would-be eliminator turned over {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

. As the dealer ran the community cards, Merheb was already standing behind his chair and packing his belongings.

Board: {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{Q-Diamonds}

{3-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{2-Diamonds}

. There was no help for the at-risk player, and he has become the latest victim of Day 1.
