Trotter Loses Race; Busts

Level 13 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Chris Trotter fulfilled a lifelong dream today by being featured in the PokerNews Live Reporting blog, but unfortunately he was unable to survive Day 1a.

A few moments ago, he was all in and at risk preflop for roughly 25,000 with {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}. Jerry Barlow had him at risk with {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}.

"What do we need, Mr. Trotter?" someone asked him.

"To hold!" he responded, excitedly.

The {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop was favorable for Trotter, but the {10-Spades} on the turn gave Barlow six extra outs to win the hand. The {q-Clubs} spiked on the river, giving Barlow a winning pair of queens, and Trotter shot backwards at the site of the card.

He quickly collected himself, and wished the table luck before exiting.

Barlow now sits with 120,000 chips.
