When the Saints Come Marching In

If I were more historically aware, I'd be able to write a lot of witty jokes about some of the team battles here. Instead you're stuck with me telling you how Team England and Team China got the chips in on Outer Table 3. Kind of boring, I suppose, but dammit Jim I'm a blogger not a history professor.

Anyway David Chiu and David Ulliot were the players involved in the PLO round. On a board of {3-} {6-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}, both players were on the draw. Ulliot showed {A-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {9-} {4-}, a pair of nines and the nut flush draw. Chiu showed {5-} {7-} {8-} {9-}, a partial wrap straight draw. The turn {4-Diamonds} secured a double-up for the Devilfish, who promptly started singing. Robert Williamson III snatched the microphone away from Ulliot, to the relief of the gallery.
