There is now no line of sight to the part of the one remaining Main Event table in the Poker Pit on which flops, those key elements of the game of hold"em poker, are dealt.
Here"s a hand I witnessed from the rail to illustrate:
Tony Bloom made up the small blind when it passed to him, and Michael Martin in the big blind raised to 17,000. Bloom called.
Flop: ? ? ? Bloom checked, Martin bet 20,000 - call.
Turn: ? Check-check
River: ? Check-check.
Tony Bloom showed: :

Michael Martin showed: ks jc, and won the pot. Therefore one of the cards on the board was either a King or a Jack, or there were two small pairs on it. I am discounting the straight or flush options because there would have been no river check, I imagine. We have entered the realm of "best guess" poker coverage.
My back hurts - I am checking out the massage chairs (fully reclinable!) which have been sadly occupied all day. I suspect one of the guys on one of them has actually been asleep for many hours.
