As the Field Shrinks

Players continue to hit the rail at a rapid pace, the latest group including David "Bakes" Baker, James McManus, and Liina Vark.

Vark's final hand saw her all in with {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} against an opponent's {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}. The board came {5-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, and Vark is out.

After she'd left, Vark's vanquisher spied the table, noting eight of the other nine remaining to be men. "Eight of the players at the table are pissed at me," he declared. "The dealer, too!"

Perhaps they are, perhaps they aren't. After all, they've all advanced another step closer to surviving Day 1.
