Edward Roger Rides Pre-Break Hope Rollercoaster

The players are off milling around like they do so well during this last 15 minute break of the evening. The last ones to vacate their table were watching a tense situation develop as James Keys made it 2,200 to go preflop only to find neighbour Edward Roger moving all in. It passed back to Keys who now tanked... Roger's stack was somewhere in the region of 14k, and while at first glance it looked like Keys had more than enough chips in comparison, they were large stacks of small-denom ones and to call and lose would seriously put him in trouble for the final 600/1,200 level.

At last Keys made the call, with A-T off, in bad shape vs. Rogers' A-Q off. But the flop fell 2-T-7, presumably taking Rogers' hope that he'd be back for Day Two with it. 3 on the turn... but Queen on the river! Clearly delighted, Rogers breathes again and can shake off that hand's adrenaline during the 15 minutes off playing.
