I noticed that Tom Dobrilovic's seat was occupied by a new face, so I hunted Tom down to find out what happened.
In the 75/150 level, a player opened for 400, then Tom kicked it up to 1,600. A third player cold-called and the opener opted out. On the flop of 8 6 5, Tom led out for 2,500 and his opponent shoved for ~15k.
Tom gave it some thought, then made the call all-in with his pocket Aces. His opponent was trailing with 87 off for top pair with open-ender, but had a lot of outs (any 9, 8, 7, or 4). A 9 on the river sealed Tom's fate. He'll be back to play the $2k event next weekend.
A couple more players spotted: Abraham Korotki and Eric Panayiotou are sharing the felt on table 4. Eugene Fouksman is over on table 10.
