Three Eliminated in Rapid Succession

[user25067]

In the downstairs portion of the casino where five tables are running, we saw the departure of three players within the first fifteen minutes of play.

First to go was Simon Wing, who moved all in pre-flop with {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

and was called by Peter Murphy's {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

. No love for Wing on the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{7-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

board.

The next all in found Rene Carlos Pedersen's {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

up against Jon "Pearljammer" Turner's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{10-Hearts}

in another pre-flop all in. {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

{7-Diamonds}

on the flop looked fine for Pedersen until the {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

fell on the turn, making Turner trip tens and eliminating Pedersen.

And thirdly there was the demise of Martin Vallo, getting it all in with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

on an

{A-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

{2-Spades}

flop against Stephen Rynne's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

. Spade-spade on the turn and river brought in Rynne's backdoor flush and left Vallo cursing to himself on his way out the door.
