The story of a tournament in three hands.
I.
The tournament began with three tables before expanding to four as a few late-comers trickled in. We’ve shrunk down to three.
I started the tournament at this table, took what I considered to be a bad beat, and moved to the expanded table. That was full of some wild action, and I initially cursed myself for letting myself be seated with some unpredictable players.
Still, I survived. When Scooty, the tournament director, broke up the fourth table, I quickly claimed my original seat at the table where I’d begun.
