JJ No Good for JJ

The Dragons can breathe a sigh of relief, as JJ Hazan won't be taking home a bracelet this year after being eliminated by Nottingham's Pete Linton.

"Jacks taken out by 6-3," confirmed recent TV celebrity Hazan on departure, perhaps in an effort to share his surprise/frustration. "To be fair, it was only 75 preflop," defended Linton, who'd opted to protect his blind.

Either way, all the chips went in on a {10-?}{6-?}{6-?} flop, Linton avoiding a knave on the otherwise blank {K-?} turn and {7-?} river. "Well played, Pete," congratulated Hazan as he cheekily toppled Linton's stack of greens with a mischievous smirk.
