Fintan Hand Fires Second Bullet, Immediately Busts

Mwarburton

Niveau 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Fintan Hand has just reported that he busted his second bullet in record time. Without even taking his seat at the table, Fintan picked up pocket queens and got it all in against his opponent's pocket aces, losing the pot and his entire stack.

Fintan was sat with his vial of lucky heather, the one that saw him through the final table of the UKIPT Edinburgh. He has now given that lucky charm away to Steve Warburton, claiming it is cursed. Perhaps the charm only works in Scotland, its place of origin.

Fintan has now sat back down for his third bullet of Day 1c.
