The Bubble Bursts

A wave of applause and assorted celebratory techniques scurry through the tables as news spread of the exit of Senovio Ramirez.

A kings versus aces cooler is painful at the best of times, but when it's on the bubble, then it is understandably excruciating. Sadly, that was the case for Ramirez, his pocket kings versus Andrew Gordon's pocket rockets unable to hit one of two outs on a 6-T-3-4-6 board.

As Ramirez made the long walk back into the hallway, the players congratulated each other, Andrew Jeffreys in particular shaking the hand of every member of his table. In fact, Dana and I felt so left out, that we shook each other's hands, even though we receive no cash prize for making the top 99.
