Batman Will Not Return

Dennis "Batman" Fleig came in wearing Batman pants, a Batman T-shirt and a color coordinated glow-in the dark Batman jacket he bought on a rollback sale at WalMart. He had the hat. He had the sunglasses. For all we know he was wearing Batman underwear.

He came ready to shine today. It was his time. Unfortunately for him, that time was only about 20 minutes. He got it in good with a weak ace on an ace-high flop. Always the joker, Chris Gaddi looked him up with a small pair and a back-door heart draw.

He went runner-runner for the flush, slaying the caped crusader with a smile.

"It felt good," said Gaddi, chuckling maniacally as Batman headed back to the cave.

Joining him were nine others who busted in the first half of the first level today, leaving 45 remaining.
