good luck to Michelle!

I"ve been on photo duty. Took about 45 mins to capture (almost) everyone on film.

This is my photo of the cardroom:



Some parts of the room are totally inacessible whilst players are seated. To get some photos I had to pass the camera to someone at the table and get them to photograph the person sitting opposite them

Chen Tam is the first player to leave us. Vikrum Mehta the recipient of his chips.

I catch the hand on a flop of:



Vik bets out for 1.7k. Chen makes it 4k to go. Vik calls.

The turn is .

Checkity-check.

The river falls .

Vik bets out 1.7k, Chen makes it 5k, leaving 5.5k back. Vik tanks, finally electing to put Chen all in.

Chen tank calls. His is no match for Vik"s pocket Jacks, and a monster pot heads to Vik.



Chen Tam

[Matt D]

Mere minutes after Chen"s exit, Judi Edwards is also on the rail.

She regails me of her exit thus:

Min-raise utg from baseball-behatted player, Gary Wildin. Judi calls with TJo, and two others come along for the ride.

9QK.

Gary checks. Judi makes it 400-ish to go. 2 folders, and Gary calls.

Turn: T

Gary checks, Judi makes it 1200. Gary repops to 5000. Judi calls.

River bricks.

All the money goes in from Gary. Like a grand quizmaster, Judi quizically quizzes Gary "do you have AJ?"... Gary decides to take the 5th.

Judi makes the call, but alas she is right. Gary indeed has AJ.



Judi Edwards in happier times
