Drawing a 'Blanc

[user46392]

Richard Leblanc was delighted to get his chips in holding {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

on a

{3-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{2-Diamonds}

flop against an opponent holding {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

. However, the poker gods punish things like this, and the turn and river came down the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

and

{5-Clubs}

respectively making both players a straight, and while Leblanc stays in he was denied his much-needed double up.
