DEL.ICIO.USHolding steady in Vegas poker series
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Just 30 minutes into Tuesday at the World Series of Poker Main Event, and already three of the 27 remaining players were eliminated. One was Georgia Tech industrial engineering grad Siddharth Jain, who entered with a short stack of chips and needed to make a move quickly.
He went all-in with a pair of eights and was taken out by a player who held a pair of kings, and picked up a third on the flop.
Doing the eliminating was Conyers native Dustin Holmes, who took out Mark Garner who went all-n before the flop with a pair of fives. Holmes held aces, and his strong hand survived. Holmes entered the day with a chip count of just over $1 million, and pushed it to $1.8 million with that hand.
They will play today until the field is reduced to a final table of nine.
