Another One Bites the Dust

As if the ghost of Freddie Mercury was running rampant through the Rio, we've lost yet another player in a flash as the fallen continue to break free from this year's Main Event.

On this occasion, the man taking it all was Brent Baldrey, who peeked down with joy at {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}. But it wasn't heaven for everyone as just a few seats down another unwitting player held {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}.

All the chips went in preflop, and you could tell by his body language that the shorter stack sensed he was beat. The board didn't provide any miracle either, the dealer failing to save him by rolling a rather raggy {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs} onto the felt.

As for Baldrey, he is now rocking and rolling with 65,000 and it would appear as though nothing is going to stop him now, despite the pressure of being one of the chip leaders.
