May the Flipping Commence
Local regular Nadeem aka "NT" promised to flip it in the first hand after joining table seven and did so after a raise to 4,000 by Ahmed Karrim, a call by Nick Sissou on the button and the call of Nic Ioannoy in the small blind.
Before his turn to act, he had peeked at his cards high for the rail and joked "it is also my birthday". The shove was then for 38,500 and Karrim called, Sissou called all-in for fewer and Ioannoy also came along to make it a four-way pot.
On the Q?J?8? flop, Ioannoy jammed and Karrim folded.
NT: 7?4? 
Nick Sissou: 9?7?
Nic Ioannoy: 8?3?
The 10? turn and Q? river gave Sissou a quadruple up while NT busted. He then re-entered and got it in the very next hand with Q?J? against the Q?10? of Ioannoy. On a board of Q?10?3?6?J?, NT binked the superior two pair on the river.
