Deal The Next Hand.....Noooooo!

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

With over 20 tables to watch during hand-for-hand play it can prove to be a little confusing for the tournament director to keep track of which hands have been finished.

Twice already during hand-for-hand play the tournament director has announced for the dealers to commence the next hand, only to receive a loud roar of "Nooooooo!!!!" from a table in the corner of the room still trying to complete a hand.

Extended Hand-For-Hand Play

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

After a rush of early eliminations we thought that we were right on the money bubble after we went into hand-for-hand play but it appears we have started hand-for-hand a little prematurely. We started five places away from the money bubble, which is a little unusual, as normally hand-for-hand would only occur right on the money bubble. We still require three more bustouts until we hit the money, which means the bubble may drag out a little longer than normal.

It's Miller Time

Harold Miller began the hand with 2200 in the big blind. After paying the blind and the ante he was left with 400 to spare. Two people limped and Miller decided to see the flop, checking his option.

The board came {3-Hearts}

and Miller bet his last 400 chips. Both players called. The reamaining two checked the turn and river as the {7-Clubs}

hit the board.

Miller tabled {2-Diamonds}

and took down the pot. Miller has 7,000 in chips.
