Meehan Has No Explanation

We arrived just in time to see Jim Meehan double up; the cards looked like so:

Board: {2-}{3-}{8-}{5-}{a-}

Meehan's opponent: {5-}{8-} for two pair
Meehan: {2-}{4-} for a straight

"I'm sorry," Meehan told his opponent, "I have no explanation for being a moron."

Meehan, one of hands busy playing with the cigarette we bet he's going to smoke within seconds of this finishing, just haphazardly gathered his new chips into what we in the business call a "dirty stack" so it's hard to say for certain, but his new stack seemed to be in the 30,000 ballpark.
