Boutin Cops a Bad Beat

Burt Boutin got all of his chips into the middle in great shape, holding pocket kings against an opponent's pocket jacks and he improved even further when the board delivered {10-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, giving him top set. A heavy favorite to take down the pot, Burt could hardly watch as the turn and river filled out {2-Diamonds}, {3-Diamonds} giving his opponent a runner-runner diamond flush, leaving Burt on the ropes with just 6,000 in tournament chips.
