After almost an hour of hand-for-hand play, the WPTDeepStacks event has finally reached the “In the Money” stage, which caps out at 111 players. The unlucky 112th player, Brian Beggs, ended up busting out at the hands of Thomas Facette, over on table 22.
When we joined the hand (along with about 25 interested onlookers), the flop had been dealt 
. Brian had shoved for his remaining 55,000 chips, called by a much larger stack in Thomas Facette. Both players flipped over their cards.
Brian: 
Thomas: 
The turn and river came down 
, no help to Brian, with the flush adding a little to Thomas’s stack.
Brian will leave the tournament empty-handed, and the rest of our players now battle it out for the prize pool. In fact, in the time it took to write this post and upload the pictures, there have been 14 other busts occur in rapid succession, and we are now down to 97 competitors.
Good luck to all those still at the tables!
