Early Bath for Blain

Matthew Pitt

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Ireland's Dermot Blain has blasted through his 9,000 stack and is no longer competing for Event '35's bracelet.

Blain's former seat is empty and Ludovic Lacay has a massive stack of 21,000 in front of him. Putting two and two together (and hopefully not getting five) we can assume Lacay sent Blin to the showers during the last 10-15 minutes.
