No One Time for Gordon

[user108095]

It had to be the river...

You can't accuse Phil Gordon of playing without passion today.

Shortly after doubling up Phil Laak, Gordon moved all in preflop with {k-Hearts}

{k-Hearts}

{5-Diamonds}

and got called down by Laak who held {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{9-Spades}

. Gordon jumped to a quick lead on a flop of {k-Diamonds}

{k-Diamonds}

{4-Clubs}

{j-Clubs}

, but wasn't comfortable with Laak's gut-shot draw.

He relaxed a little when the {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

fell on the turn and then called for "No 10. One time." It didn't work as the {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

hit the river causing Gordon to recoil from the table in obvious agony while Phil Laak picked up the last card and gave it a loving kiss.

"That was one nasty river right there," said Gordon as he composed himself before his exit interview. We have a feeling Laak might disagree.
