De Wolfe Crippled

[user80015]

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Stumbling over to Roland de Wolfe's table, we saw a {9-Hearts} {K-Spades} {8-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {10-Hearts} flop spread with only the {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs} face up.

Unfortunately they weren't de Wolfe's ones as his {Q-Hearts} {7-Hearts} - as stated by a witness of the hand - were already in the muck after the bad beat he had just copped since all the money entered the pot on the turn.

De Wolfe is now down to just 1,850 in chips.
