Homick Can Hit a Bad Beat, but He Can't Lay One

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Charlie Homick was recently eliminated from the tournament, but we're guessing he wasn't too disappointed. In fact, we'd be willing to bet he's still riding the high he caught from recently hitting the Bad Beat Jackpot in the poker room here at Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel, a feat that earned him $36,000.

In Homick's last hand here in Event #10, he got his last 20,000 or so all in preflop and was at risk against Budwey Salhab.

Salhab: {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Homick: {k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

It was a bad spot for Homick as he shared a seven with Salhab, but held an inferior kicker. As fate would have it, the kicker made the difference too after the board ran out {q-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.
