Sometimes It Pays Not to get Out of Bed

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Joe Huminicki played six hands the entire tournament (over the last two hours). Unfortuantely he did not win any of them. On his final hand, his pair of Aces lost to an opponent's two pair, 10s and 8s during the Stud 8 level. He's the third player eliminated from today's event.

Billy the Croc gets credit for the title. He was sitting next to Huminicki and suggested that should be the title.
