A Deadly Table

Mike Sica - Eliminated
Mike Sica - Eliminated
We've just had another casualty at the featured table.

We pick up the action in a heads-up pot between Steve Saris and the aforementioned Mike "Little Man" Sica. The action is unclear preflop, but the two men watched the dealer spread the first three community cards: {A-Spades} {9-Hearts} {8-Spades}. Sica ended up all in for less than 10,000 and was looked up by Saris.

Showdown:
Sica: {10-?} {J-?}
Saris: {7-Spades} {9-Spades}

Saris was well ahead and had the better draw. The river was a blank {K-Diamonds}, and the turn was no help to Sica either. The {4-Spades} that filled out the board improved Saris to the winning flush, earning himself all of Sica's chips plus the knockout.

The cheerful Mike Sica wished his table luck before meandering around the tournament room for a few minutes. He found the empty seat of buddy Chris Reslock and sat down, drawing a laugh from the rest of the table.

Everyone is sad to see Little Man go.
