Alex Triner

After the misfortune of the last hand, Alexander Triner was probably quite relieved to stumble upon a hand as strong as pocket jacks, perhaps hoping he could move over the top of another player and feign tilt of some kind.

Well, that initial raiser came in the form of John Strzemp, but unfortunately for Triner, he had the goods in pocket queens and duly called in a flash.

The {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

board was unhelpful, the resigned cry of "where's the jack this time" before the dealer dealt out the {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

river speaking volumes.

Sadly for Triner, it just wasn't his day, and he goes home in ninth.
