Tilly's Rockets Crash and Burn

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

We missed the action but according to a tablemate, Jennifer Tilly has been eliminated in the worst way a poker player can imagine, holding {A-}{A-} against the {6-}{7-} of her opponent.

Our source informed us that the six-seven was indeed suited, so the hand was slightly more justified, but Tilly would most likely disagree. Apparently the worse hand materialized into the nut straight on the turn and Tilly was bounced from today's proceedings.

Unfortunately for Tilly, this was not even her worst bad beat of day, as we overheard the actress turned poker pro telling a friend that an autograph seeker confused her with Tiffany Michelle in the hallway during the dinner break. Apparently the "fan" was disappointed when she scrawled her name and asked, "weren't you the one from Amazing Race?"
