Let the Carnage Commence

So before we'd even had a chance to do a full circuit of the Pavilion Room, we witnessed one unfortunate gentleman's tournament come to an abrupt end.

Whatever the unlucky player was holding, it couldn't beat Matt Vance's {j-} {8-} straight on the {7-} {2-} {A-} {10-} {9-} board and he exited with a sigh. "You weren't the first one out," commiserated Vance; we can neither confirm nor deny his assertion at this time. Nevertheless Vance is off to a good start on 6,000.

"And then there were seven," said the dealer, perhaps a little heartlessly.
