Lots of Bustouts already

Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams is one of many players to bust in a hectic first ten minutes.

He shoves all in and is called by Manuel Palenca.
Adams: {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Palenca: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

A king on the flop and no more help for Adams.

Elsewhere Emilios Emmanuel has just flopped quad nines and took out his Betfair buddy Markku Aho, and Jeffery Lissandro has just bust Phillip Peters.

Pat Scanlon Eliminates Graeme Newman

There was less than 10k of Newman's stack to put in on a flop of {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, but in it went with the {Q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. It was ahead of caller Pat Scanlon's {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, however. The turn and river brought running clubs for the backdoor flush, and Newman headed out as they broke the first table.

Candlelit Meal for Two

dodging bullets, baby!
dodging bullets, baby!
As Phil Hellmuth arrives, fashionably late but not as fashionably late as usual so probably not quite as fashionable as normal, he breaks into conversation with Annie Duke on the neighbouring table.

Apparently, it's Annie birthday and she's invited the Poker Brat out for a candlelit meal for two. I translated that as "It's my birthday, and everyone's invited!" so as soon as I obtain the details of the 'date', I shall pass them on to you guys so we can have one giant shindig to celebrate the existence of Annie.

He then announced....."Shuffle Up and Deal!"
