Player Eliminated on Very First Hand Played
As recounted by Richard Lee and confirmed by the table, a woman had just sat down with a fresh starting stack of 60,000 chips. She opened under the gun with 
, Lee flat-called in the hijack with 
, and both blinds called.
The flop came 
, the blinds checked, and the woman bet 3,000. Lee raised to 8,000, the blinds got out of the way, and the woman raised to 25,000. Lee thought for some time before deciding to raise again, and the woman got the rest of her chips in.
The hit the felt on the turn to improve Lee to the best hand with a superior full house before the meaningless 
completed the board, and just like that, the woman had to get right back up from her seat and make the melancholic walk out of the room.
Afterward, "Thanks for stopping by the booth," was heard from the table, along with musings of it being the quickest $10,000 ever burned. Players at the table also mentioned she seemed friendly and they felt a little bad that her Main Event ended so quickly, although Lee will probably be able to pull through the sadness as he collected the pot and added to his growing stack.
