So Who Still Remains

'Minneapolis' Jim Meehan
'Minneapolis' Jim Meehan
In an event where you must be at least half a century old, it's hard to find a notable poker player that is instantly recognizable.

However, we do have a few today they you may already know quite well.

Tournament Director Jack McClelland, multi-bracelet holders Barbara Enright and Berry Johnston and 'Minneapolis' Jim Meehan all still remain with a chance at capturing the Event 43 bracelet.

Two Tables Down

With a bevy of short-stacks and a few players here just for fun, it's no surprise to see the action fast and heavy in the early goings.

The old snowmen into Ace-King, Jack into Queens and eight-high into nine-high have all seen a bunch of players hit the rail.

Don't worry though . . . only 385 until we find our winner!

Weber Zipped Out

Jeff Weber pushed his last 17,000 into the pot and was called by Zip Vitullo.

Weber: {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Vitullio: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

In a race situation that dates back to the days when poker was born, we saw the board run out {Q-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{J-Clubs} to see Weber hit the rail as Vitullo soared to an impressive 45,000 in chips.

A Jack Or . . . Five

As a player doubled up on a board of {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts} one player commented, "I had Jacks"

"What! You had Jacks!" stated another, "Oh . . . no, I mean I had a jack."

"I had one too" muttered another.

"I think I had one too" quipped another.

Is it a case of Alzheimers or just a few too many Jacks in the deck . . . we'll let you decide.

Stewart Not Fluss-tered

Catching the action on the flop of {2-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts} Marc Fluss checked to see a bet of 3,500 from his opponent.

However Roger Stewart on the button bumped the action to 9,000 from the button before Fluss called, and the player in the middle folded.

When the turn landed the {3-Diamonds} Fluss pushed all in for his last 18,000. Stewart called and the cards were tabled.

Fluss: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Stewart: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}

Like a cooler from yesteryear, Fluss would hit the rail when the {5-Diamonds} peeled on the river to see Stewart climb to over 75,000 in chips.

Down Eight Already

Action continues to be fast and furious like an expensive five-gear scooter (that are actually crowding the hallways and aisles!).

We have now lost eight of our starting forty tables, and if it continues at this rate we will down to one table by dinner!
