First Blood to Hanna

Here's an unexpected result from Table 5 -- Georges Hanna has dragged the first significant pot. It was limped five-ways preflop, with under-the-gun player Bruno Fitoussi firing first on a {j-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} flop for 6,300. Only Hanna called.

The turn was a card that filled just about every possible draw -- {10-Diamonds}. Fitoussi checked, then insta-folded to a bet of 12,000 from Hanna. As Hanna was dragging the pot, Layne Flack pointed out that Hanna had a dirty stack of blue (T5,000) chips. Hanna reached down and removed a lavender (T500) chip from the stack.

"Oh, that's bad," he said.
