According to Matt Lapossie, Andy Andrejevic recently lost most of his stack in a huge pot on the river, as Andrejevic stood up and acted a bit flustered from the loss. Someone had just called his all-in bet and he turned over his cards saying, "She can't win. This is unbelievable."
Andrejevic had made a straight flush, but only started the hand with 1,250, so he was upset that he couldn't get more money for his big hand.
"I'm gonna spin this up and win the tournament," he said after he won the pot.
Within the next couple hands, though, Andrejevic was walking back into the tournament room with a new ticket because he had busted. He didn't run his first stack up, but maybe he can still win the tournament. on his second.
Barry Hutter and John Dolan both busted on yesterday's Day 1a, but have returned for another crack at things today. Already in the early goings, Hutter has moved to 88,000 and Dolan has climbed to 70,000.
