Eddie as he Goes
On the flop, we witnessed a fireworks display as both men's chips hit the middle quicker than a jet-propelled whippet. "Set?" inquired Hearn nervously. Hellmuth revealed for the open-ended straight draw, whilst Hearn tabled pocket kings.
A blank turn and river later, and despite jokingly exclaiming 'Straight!' - Hearn's expression turned momentarily sour - the 11-time bracelet winner was on the deck and left to ponder, "Kings. Nice hand. That sucks, now I have too many days off." But he consumed his early fall in good spirit, and commenced his trademark au revoir by shaking the hands of the entire table as if he were the queen greeting a line-up.
