Kinkade Takes a Hit

We recently learned that just before the dinner break, Jay Kinkade took a particularly brutal beat to drop from the top of the leader board to near the bottom. He opened the pot preflop and was called only by the big blind. The flop came down {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}. After the big blind checked, Kinkade made a continuation bet. The big blind raised him, leading Kinkade to shove all in for about 30,000 total. He had the big blind covered, but that player put his tournament life on the line and called.

Kinkade: {J-Clubs} {8-Clubs}
Big blind: {10-Clubs} {3-Clubs}

Kinkade was in great shape to bust another player and vault far up the leader board, but his hopes were dashed when the turn blanked and the river came a red king to make a straight for his opponent. Kinkade has dropped to just 10,000.
