Cruel Game

[user46392]

Perhaps it's because it's Friday 13th, but the deck has been particularly cruel and/or entertaining today, depending on how you look at it.

Some recent showdowns:

Mark Brockington doubled up with {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

against Steve Pestal's {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

. Of course he was ahead when they got the chips in, but the board came down as follows: {A-?}

{A-?}

{10-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

.

Also Dan Hill holding {9-?}

{9-?}

{9-?}

was eliminated by Scott Bohlman holding {J-?}

{J-?}

{J-Clubs}

-- again, ahead when the chips went in, but the board came down a teasing {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{6-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

.
