A Thousand Dollars Per Minute

Within the first ten minutes of play we have already seen a dealer thrust the "All In" paddle into the air a second time. As happened with today's first bustout, our second loser also held pocket kings.

Michael Guzzardi and his opponent got it all in the middle on a board showing {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{A-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Guzzardi's opponent had {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} for a set, but Guzzardi had {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for the Broadway straight.

The river was the {9-Clubs}, and Guzzardi has quickly doubled up to 40,000.

"I didn't last very long," said his opponent as he got up to leave.
