Phil Gordon opened the pot for 750 from EP and the small blind called. The flop was {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

{4-Diamonds}

. The small blind bet 600 and Gordon called. The turn was the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

. The small blind bet out another 1,200 and Gordon called. The river was the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

. The small blind checked and Gordon checked behind. The small blind showed {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{2-Diamonds}

and Gordon let out a huge sigh as he mucked his cards.

Only a couple of hands later, Gordon took his pocket fours up against a severely short-stacked opponent's pre-flop all in with A-Q. Gordon lost that race when the board ran out {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

{5-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{K-Clubs}

After both hands, Gordon had 9,800 remaining in his stack.
