The first casualties
The poker room is eerily silent. It is always amazing to see how the frenetic nature of the re-buy period changes, literally overnight, to a more serious and sedate behaviour.
This did not however deter the action table five from claiming the first victim of the morning. James Adams ends his run with a 106th place finish.
Nishad Abdul could not keep the form of the Cowboys running into day two despite getting all his chips in with the best of it. His KK was cracked by Warren Zackey’s A Q when the second lady appeared on the turn after all the chips were already in the middle. Out in 105th position.
Ilhan Marcinhes (replacement for Gil Yahav) has also been eliminated also after getting his chips in with the better hand. Naheem Lum completed his flush draw on the turn to send him packing in 104th place.
