Somerville Binks a Queen

Our access to the secondary feature table is very limited, but when we heard that there was an all in and a call between Amit Zulkowitz and Jason Somerville, we sprinted over to see what was happening.

Zulkowitz had two black aces, Somerville, {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}, and there was over 2 million chips in the middle. The dealer rapped the table, and spread {2-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{5-Spades}.

We heard Somerville say something about "paint," and the {k-Spades} pealed off on the turn.

"What a tease," he said grinning, resigned to his fate.

Somerville caught lightning in a bottle however, because the {q-Clubs} spiked on the river, keeping his Main Event dreams alive.

Zulkowitz was distraught, and jumped out of his chair to run and lay his head on the rail. The pot rockets Somerville's stack to about 2.3 million chips, while Zulkowitz slipped to about 1.36 million.
