Robert Notkin – the champion of the Canada Cup Main Event held here at Playground Poker Club in 2014 – is out early in Day 2. He started the day with a very small stack (30,800) and within the first 15 minutes of play he had increased his holdings to 46,300 – which were broken down to be counted in the middle of the table when we arrived as Marcello Rosa was making his decision.
Not too much time passed and Marcello made the call and the hands were tabled:
Robert: 
Marcello: 
The flop was marginally in favour of Robert (but only by a hair): 
but the turn was fantastic – 
. The celebrations were short-lived, however – the river 
spelled the end of the tournament for Robert.
