A moment ago we noticed a showdown in progress, the classic Ace-King v. Ace-Queen battle. Normally any player would rather have AK, but in this particular case it was not the best hand.
Both players got their chips in the middle preflop, and the board was dealt .
In this case, Roberto Parent’s AQ defeated his opponent’s AK, eliminating him from the tournament. A tough way to go, to be sure. As we have now closed registration, the number of participants will only decrease. Only 94 players remain, and at least 50 more will be eliminated before the end of the night.
