Event 18: Tight Table Ten

$2500 + $200 Double Play NL Championship

After eleven hours of play nine out of the ten original players at table ten are still there.

Only two people have exited the tournament from this super tight table and both came from the same seat.

Tom "Shamrock" Gilligan

Now sitting in that revolving chair is Tom "Shamrock" Gilligan from Jacks Casino - Manor Hamilton in Ireland.

Tom says he's not afraid of the seat, instead he embraces it.

One player had quads and still couldn't get any action.
Then there was what should have been an elimination hand - set over set.

Francis Anderson - Middle Set vs. Top Set

Francis Anderson (Poughkeepsie, NY) is lucky to still be here.

He held 6♠ 6♣ and saw a flop of 10 6 2. Both players checked the flop. Turn card K caused Francis to check call the turn. Q on the river froze the action - both fearing the other hit the flush.

"I have a set" said Anderson which caused his opponent to say the exact same thing.

Francis' middle set of sixes lost to opponent's top set of tens.

Francis ecstatic to have only lost the minimum.

Tight table ten just keeps passing chips around.

Most of em can't wait till they get broken up.

One thing is certain, make it through Level 11 and you'll get a new seat for tomorrow.
