Mixed Emotions

The poker roller coaster is an unpredictable ride with numerous twist and turns, and when those cards are flipped onto their backs, anything can happen.

Pushing all in under-the-gun for 14,500 with {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, Joseph Bolnick was looking elimination directly in the face when he was called by Alex Triner's {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}.

A fun-filled {A-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{Q-Spades} board delivered a slice of good fortune, but the dramatic {3-Hearts} on the river quickly took it away making Bolnick's moment of excitement short-lived.

Triner now up to 80,000.
