Batista Tilts and Busts

Chad Batista - event #38
Chad Batista - event #38
The flop was {Q-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} when Jordan Mayers and Chad Batista had it all in. Batista held the best hand in {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}. Mayers had {K-Spades} {Q-Spades}. The turn came the {4-Diamonds} and then the river the {K-Diamonds}.

Mayers yelled out, "Yes!" after he won the hand and Batista stood up and muttered some words to himself with a half smile.

On the next hand, Batista shoved in out of turn and without looking at his cards. Everyone mucked.

The following hand, Batista quickly checks his cards and then shoves again. Mayers calls. Batista showed {Q-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} and Mayers had {A-Spades} {K-Spades}. The board ran out {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} and Batista ended up making a flush.

On the next hand, Batista shoved all in on the turn when the board read {10-Clubs} {9-Spades} {4-Spades} {3-Hearts} holding {7-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}. A player called him with {10-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} and the river came the {3-Spades}, sending Batista to the rail.
