De Mel Departs

Priyan de Mel has been riding the short stack all day -- perhaps in part due to the fact that he's been paying more attention to the boxing match on his ��500 iPad than on the ��5,000 poker tournament he's playing in. In any event, he got the last of his chips into the middle preflop when he looked down at {8-Clubs} {8-Hearts}. An unknown American-sounding chap across from him put de Mel to the test, racing for the knockout with {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts}.

The {10-Clubs} {9-Spades} {10-Diamonds} flop left de Mel dead to an eight, and he couldn't find either of them. The {5-Spades} turn and {2-Clubs} river sealed his fate, sent packing about a half level before making Day 2.
