The "Hand of the Tournament" was a premature statement after Scott Strubel (Woodbridge, NJ) took down a 325k pot. Just four levels later and three hands before the end of Day 1A play, Strubel, who's stack peaked at 360k, is on the rail.
"It was some of the worst poker I've seen in my life," says Joseph Capalbi (Brooklyn, NY) who was at table 2 and had a first hand view. "I only met Scott tonight, but I'd say this to his face," says Capalbi, who ends the day with 160k. "He was calling pre-flop like it was a 1-2 table."
Capalbi says the final blow is when Capalbi shoves his last 103k all-in with pocket fives and is eventually called and eliminated by pocket eights.
One benefactor of Strubel's meltdown is Souvanh Vilayvanh who unofficially finishes the night in third place with 253k.
