Red Section Review (Part 1)

Moutinho being consoled by The Doc after being eliminated in last years WSOP ME in 29th place
Moutinho being consoled by The Doc after being eliminated in last years WSOP ME in 29th place

We have just raced around the red section and do you know what we saw? Well let us tell you.

We cannot find the Spanish duo of Carlos Mortensen and Leo Margets. We believe Margets was eliminated in a flip - {J-} {J-} v {A-} {Q-} - but cannot find out whether Mortensen was eliminated or moved. For now we are going to assume he is busto, until we spot otherwise.

Another red-section player who is more aesthetically pleasing to the eye is Erika Moutinho. Moutinho reached notoriety when she finished in 29th place in last years World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event where she cashed for $242,636 (just one place behind her fiance David 'Doc' Sands). Moutinho has just been eliminated {A-} {3-} versus {4-} {4-} in a pre flop battle.

Contrasting fortunes for Jameson Painter and Joseph Cheong. Painter arrived on time and then departed not long after, whilst Cheong arrived late and has just doubled up. Painter was out {A-} {Q-} versus {Q-} {Q-} in another of the notorious $1k flips and Cheong doubled up {K-} {Q-} versus {K-} {10-}.
