Event 1: The Long Con

We heard an exuberant young lady named Kathleen Long cry out while jumping for joy, and after hurdling a few chairs to see what the fuss was all about, we discovered a bad beat had just been inflicted.

Long held the {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs} against the {A-}{2-} held by an unidentified opponent, and with the final board reading {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{q-Spades}, it was clear the second best hand before the flop had found a way to win.

Long's straight on the river kept her alive in the tournament, but she will need to keep pushing forward to escape the relentless pressure applied by the ever-rising blinds.
