Though we've had two eliminations since returning from the dinner break, things have certainly slowed down here in the Brasilia room. Table 6 hasn't seen a flop in the last twenty minutes.

Ugly Duckling

Donnie Peters

Erik Seidel just informed the tournament staff that there was a mark or dent in one of the cards that was dealt to him. The dealer mucked Seidel's hand, but Seidel remembered which card it was. After all of the players folded, Seidel let the tournament director know that the ace of spades was the card that was marked. The tournament director sifted through the deck to find that the once proclaimed 'most beautiful card in the deck' was now the ugliest card in the deck and a new set of 52 will be implemented.
