Tom busted out on his first hand of today\’s $1,500 NLH event. Here\’s how it went down … Donkey Bomber shows up and is looking for his seat. A floor guy directs him to his table — only he sends him in the wrong direction, and when he finally makes it to his seat, turns out he was just a table away when he asked for directions. Oops.
So he arrives having missed the first hand … no biggie, right? Takes his seat and the first two cards he sees are both queens. So he raises … Bill Edler re-raises (to about 1,500 — virtual half-stacks) and Hevad Khan calls. So Tom concludes that there\’s no way Hevad has aces or kings — he woulda just shoved — and Edler was just letting Tom know who\’s gonna be boss at the table … so Tom goes all-in.
Edler calls (with pocket 5s) and Khan calls (with AK). Edler would end up flopping a 5, and Hevad also paired one of his big-boys … so just like that, Tom is out. But wait, there\’s more …
A floor guy had come over to the table to let players know that some of them were in the wrong seats … including Edler and Khan. Hevad woulda had the pocket 5s, and Edler woulda been in the ded big-blind\’s stack … something like that. But in general, everything woulda been different.
Kinda funny/ironic … especially since dealers are being extra-cautious about checking IDs.
