Wham Bam, Thank You Ma'am

Within moments, we had two eliminations at two tables right next to each other.

The first to go, just, was Jameson Painter after he got it all in preflop with {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} versus an opponent's {7-Clubs} {7-Spades}.

The board ran {3-?} {4-?} {5-?} {3-?} {10-?} to felt him.


The next was Matt McCullough who was holding {K-Spades} {Q-Spades} versus Dan Heimiller's {5-Clubs} {5-Spades}.

It all went in, and it's easy to see why, on a {Q-?} {5-?} {2-?} flop. There was hope with the {K-?} on the turn but McCollough was already heading off as the {3-?} dropped on the river.

As Heimiller was stacking his 35,500 stack he joked that he only wants to bust players to get the Everest Poker green cushions the players were given to sit on.
