Lucky For Some
"Take a look at this, guys. I qualified on the 13th, my buy-in receipt say the number 13, I'm third from bottom, and my ticket today is 31. That's a lot of threes and ones."
"Is 31 your favourite number?" I asked inquisitively to no response.
Not one to be duped by spooky occurrences, my skepticism was truly put to the test when Elgie pushed all in under-the-gun on what I believe was the third hand of the day. After receiving a call from the even shorter-stacked Lascelle Barrow on the button, Elgie duly turned over !!!
Creepy, yes, but the truth was that he was in trouble as Barrow tabled . But on this occasion, the numbers one and three proved lucky for Elgie as the board came to award him a much-needed double through.
I didn't check his new count, but something tells me he might be hovering around the 13,000 mark. We are now exiting the Twilight Zone.
