Early Bird Special
We caught up on the action with one player already all-in for his last 3,225 and Jose Carmelotes contemplating his next move. Holding 
, Carmelotes decided to make the call and put his opponent at risk in one of the last hands dealt before our dinner break. The other player tabled his 
and we were off to the races.
The door card was a queen but the flop fell 
to give Carmelotes a set of tens. The 
on the turn was a dramatic card, as now his opponent could make a full house on the river, but the 
offered no help and Carmelotes scored the knockout.
With a minute or so still showing on the tournament clock, another player at the table asked if he could leave for dinner. When the dealer told him there would be one more hand dealt before the break officially started, the player turned and left anyway, apparently too accustomed to his early-bird specials to risk arriving late.
