I arrived tableside just in time to see the silent demise of Daragh Davey, all in preflop with 8 8 against Jaru Hurri's A K . The board ran out 9 7 J A 4 with not a murmur from either player; Davey gave a slight nod as the ace fell on the turn and was standing to leave before the last card had even touched the felt. Hurri is up to around 200k.
Meanwhile at the next table, hilarity and cursing all round as JJ Hazan and Tormod Ludvigsen chopped a pot. The chips had apparently gone in preflop, Hazan shoving with K3 on the button against Ludvigsen's raise with KQ - only for the board to raise Hazan's hopes and then dash them again, running out 3K32K to give them both kings full at the end. Still, a chop's not bad under the circumstances, and Hazan continues with around 75k while Ludvigsen remains on 120k or so.
