First Man Out: Busts Without a Showdown

Yesterday Dejan Pustoslemsek lost a massive pot in the very last hand of the night, as his flush draw didn't get there against the two pair of Jeremy Pantin. Luckily for Pustoslemsek, he had exactly one ante more than his opponent and thus locked up a £5,000 cash.

His one ante went in on the very first hand of the day, and with Pustoslemsek not in his seat, his cards were instantly mucked, and the Slovenian declared eliminated. No more than 15 seconds later Pustoslemsek came running for the table, but it was already too late. He didn't seem to bummed out about it, as he just shrugged and left the tournament area, probably not expecting to run up the 10,000 chips anyways.

Instead, Kristen Bicknell ended up taking down the pot after jamming all in for 2,820,000 over the top of Alexandru Papazian's 300,000 raise from the cutoff.
