An Eight-Week Tournament
As expected, the words "all-in and a call" rippled through the room like dominoes in a gale, with one of the first to be caught in the whirlwind being UK pro Priyan de Mel.
All in with for 54,000, de Mel came up against the of Jason Kotpin but was unable to survive a teasing board.
After the hand, the dealer stood up from his seat and ceased dealing, only for the other players to look on in confusion and eventually inform him that hand-for-hand was over.
As my fellow reporter commented, "Jeeze, that would turn an eight-day tournament into an eight-week tournament."
