Slick Sorscher

A player in the hijack three-bet to 7,000 before the flop after an undetermined opening raise, and another player flatted the big bet from the cutoff.
Jonathan Sorscher liked the look of his 
, however, and he decided to pump it up to 17,325 from UTG+1, a four-bet which pushed the hijack's hand into the muck.
The player in the cutoff wasn't going anywhere though, and with 
in the hole he called the four-bet to put more than 90 percent of his stack at risk.
Before the flop was revealed Sorscher bet enough to put his opponent's last few chips at risk, and even though he knew the score when the dealer spread the 
, the man with fishhooks made the crying call.
"The ace gotta come there don't it?" he asked to nobody in particular, watching as Sorscher tabled his hand. "Gotta have that damned ace!"
The board ran out clean for Sorscher on the turn and river, leaving his despondent opponent to continue his muttered missives against the card that kills more poker dreams than any other.
