Event 4 has resumed and cards are flying – both playing cards and metal All-In cards (or as some have called them, Quadrilaterals of Death)!
Amazingly, the first player to be eliminated tonight was NOT J-F Lescadres, who started tonight with just 6 antes in his stack. He didn’t return to claim his tiny stack but had a couple of hands before he was in the big blind position (and therefore all-in blind) and another player was eliminated before he was.
