Worst River Card Sends Patrick Back Across the Border

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

On the river of a {k-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} board, Shannon Farrell bet about half the pot, sliding 10,000 forward. Her heads-up opponent, Mike Patrick, took a moment and raised all in having Farrell covered.

Farrell snap-called and tabled the {q-Spades}{5-Clubs} for a full house. Patrick, slightly stunned, turned over the {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, hitting a gutter ball on the river.

Patrick was forced to send almost all of his stack to Farrell and his last big blind was swept up the next hand.
