Gone But Not Out
Bernard Geom just left the Paradise Casino Walkerhill tournament room thinking he was knocked out.
After limping with two jacks and three-betting after the player to his left, Teraoka Shinichiroh, had raised, all the money went in when Geom's opponent moved all in.
The pot created was worth around 38,000 chips and Shinichiroh's pocket queens held up. It did not take the dealer long to find out that Geom had 800 chips left to play with, but he was already out the door.
APPT President Danny McDonagh made an announcement in an attempt to get Geom back in action, but to no avail.
"He'll be blinded out in two rounds," Canadian PokerStars Qualifier John Hashem said.
"So he'll last longer than some of us," Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang jokingly added.
