Alexander the Great

Whilst we await action from the rest of the room, table one has already experienced it's own share of drama in the form of a double up. With Mark Radoja opening the betting with a 1,800 preflop raise, he and opponent Alexander Triner went raise crazy, Triner making it 8,000, Radoja pushing all in and Triner making the call.

On their backs, and it was pray to the gods time, both players coinflipping with Triner's {9-Spades}

boasting the slight edge against Radoja's {A-Diamonds}

. A very raggy board hit the baize and Radoja was down to the felt.

A few hands later and he was gone, albeit in rather controversial circumstances. Having pushed all in and revealed his hand, {A-Diamonds}

, the dealer accidentally pushed them into the muck. The floor was duly called over and the cards reclaimed, but as his opponent revealed his superior {8-Diamonds}

, Radoja probably rued not claiming he had the bullets, the {9-Clubs}

board proving clinical and swiftly sending Radoja to the rail.
