Event 1: So So Sick, Sica!

$350 + $50 DS NL (2 re-entry)   

A sick, sick hand just took place on table one.

John Zoldak (utg) is the big stack and opens for 150k.

Action folded to Mike 'Little Man' Sica in the cutoff and he moved in for ~260k.

Ed Hwang (button) shoved for ~290k.

Andrew Klein (bb) gives it some thought, then moves all-in for 730k.

John Zoldak asks for the count and gives it some thought but then opts to fold his pocket deuces.

Both Mike Sica and Ed Hwang hold AK.  Klein was in the lead with pocket 9s.

The flop came A 4 3, giving Mike and Ed the lead with pairs of Aces.

Everything changed when a 9 hit the turn, giving Klein a set and the lead and leaving Ed and Mike drawing dead.

Interesting post-script to the hand is that a 5 came on the river, which would have given John Zoldak a wheel with his deuces and busted three players.  As it stood, however, Klein collected the pot.

Mike 'Little Man' Sica finished in 21st place.  Edward Hwang finished in 20th place.  Both players earned $1,308 for their efforts.
