We didn't catch the action but we know that John DeCruz couldn't best John O'Shea in a recent pot and DeCruz was eliminated from the tournament.
As he was leaving the table, DeCruz told the table that this was his first tournament ever and that he read his first poker book on the way over during his plane ride.
He wished everyone the best of luck and went to the payout desk to collect his winnings.

"Have anything?"
