Brutal

After a {8-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} flop Jimmy Haseth and another player got all the money in the middle. Haseth had an overpair with {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}. Thing is, his opponent had a bigger overpair--{A-Hearts} {A-Spades}. The turn brought the {A-Clubs}, giving the other player a set and all but ending Haseth's Main Event.

That is, until the {10-Spades} spiked on the river, giving Haseth a one-card straight. Jimmy let out on of the louder yells we've heard in the Amazon Room in quite some time as he scooped the big pot. "I knew you had me beat," Haseth said, which probably wasn't much comfort to his now-crippled opponent.
