Greg Gill Breathes Easier

As one mustachioed singer once sang, "another one bites the dust", and this time it's a Mr Fitzpatrick at the hansd of Greg Gill who progresses to round two as a result.

He required some help from the dealer, however, all in with {A-Spades}{10-Clubs} versus {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and searching for an ace. In the end, it was a sneaky straight that won him gold, the board coming an oh-so-cruel {9-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. Ouch, that's gotta hurt.
