It didn’t take long to lose a player today; actually it was on the first hand. Tanya Puppa found pocket fours and made her moved, called by an opponent holding king-nine. Our final female representative was drawing dead by the turn as king-nine made a straight.
Shortly after we also lost the short-stacked Greg Tucker. We apologise as we don't have the details of the hand.
