Here's the action: Early-position player raises to 3,500 only to have Eugene Todd reraise to 10K. The cutoff moves all in for 3,200 and then the BB moves all in over the top for 28.5K. The EP player mucks in disgust and Eugene goes into the tank until the clock is called on him. After his 60 seconds have expired he open folds jacks. The cutoff shows {3-Hearts}

and the BB shows {A-Spades}

.

The cutoff receives no help from the {9-Spades}

board and we lose yet another player.
