Early Drama

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

You might think that a limit hold'em shootout would be rather calm during the first few levels, but we've already seen a three round penalty get dished out here in the Pavilion room.

Although we missed the hand, apparently Michael Winnett held pocket aces and his opponent held pocket kings. The board ended up being king-high giving the other player a set and Winnett was so upset that he chucked his aces hard enough to send one of them flying into the crowd of spectators nearby.

Winnett is now cooling his heels while the rest of his table, marches on without him.
