Opening Salvos
The tournament kicked off with just eight players gathered around a couple of tables in the corner of the room. Twenty minutes in, enough players have filtered in for the ultra-deep portion of the event to occupy five different tables, albeit playing short-handed.
Action has started predictably slowly, with the most notable moment being a player at Table 1 grousing about the dealer's failure to deliver any strong hands. He attempted to get a small bluff through after betting 300 out of the big blind on ![]()
![]()
![]()
and having his opponent on the button raise to 1,000. The big blind peeled and then bet out 300 on the
river, receiving a quick call.
"I missed every possible thing you put out there," the bettor grumbled, showing ![]()
and losing to a pair of aces. "You couldn't flip a diamond over?"
