Tom McFarlane (Anna Maria Island, FL)
Tom McFarlane just busted a player in about 45th place, all in preflop. Tom had the {8c}{8h} to his oppoonent’s {Ac}{Kd}, in a classic race situation, as they say. The board had no aces or kings: {7c}{4d}{9h}{3h}{Jd} and Tom added to his considerable chip stack. Another player busted at the adjacent table, bringing us to 44 remaining on five nine-handed tables.
Tom has no previous tournament cashes on record, so this appears to be his first, wherever he finishes.
