Fancy Sweating That...

Within just a few minutes we heard the rather unexpected cry of: "All-in and a call!" and like a jet-propelled whippet we raced over to the crime scene to check out the action.

The man with the chalk outline had gone out with {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}, all the chips going in on a {K-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} with Corey Emery holding {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} for top set. Although Emery commanded the dealer to "pair the board" before each subsequent street, it was unnecessary as the {3-Diamonds} turn and {6-Diamonds} river were both blanks, and we had our first exit of the day.

But as he collected his wooden spoon, the fallen player was reflective in defeat, commenting with a smile: "Did you see how he sucked out with those kings?"

Meanwhile, Emery is your new chip leader with 60,000 and wearing a smile that would require a crowbar and a tub of Vaseline to remove. "He had top set, but fancy sweating that ****," commented our field reporter, which made me laugh.
