The Hit Squad Curse

The epitomy of exhuberance
The epitomy of exhuberance
Just moments before Mahrenholz's untimely departure, fellow Hit Squad member and former bracelet winner Praz Bansi found himself hurtling towards the rail in similar fashion. He reraised preflop with kings from the big blind, but in a hand that was cooler than an Arctic Breeze, ran headfirst into pocket aces and received no further help.

"It was weird," explained Bansi. "As soon as I exited, I went over to see how Karl was getting on and then he went out. After that, we thought we'd see how Chaz [Chattha] was doing, but as soon as we arrived he lost almost all his chips with kings versus tens."

Thank heavens the Hit Squad are small in numbers, there'd barely be any players left otherwise.
