Tom Roupe Advances to Round 2

Well, that didn't take long.

Dalton had just got back and made the call from the small blind/button without seeing his cards. Roupe, noticing Dalton hadn't looked at his cards, raised, and eventually the two got it all in preflop.

Turned out Dalton had a hand -- {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. And so did Roupe -- {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. The race was on.

The flop came out {J-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. The turn was the {10-Hearts}. Dalton was still okay.

Then the river came the {J-Clubs}, counterfeiting Dalton's hand. Roupe moves on to Round 2.
