You're Down, But Not Out

Wayne Boich, down to his last 19,000 or so, raised to 5,000 from under the gun, and it folded around to Carl Gorham, who pushed all in from late position with his last 17,100.

"Wow, let me check my cards," said Brian Nieboer. Nieboer folded, as did everyone else. The action was back on Boich. He thought a moment, then pushed his remaining chips in.

Boich turned over {Q-Diamonds}

, and Gorham {A-Spades}

. The board ran out {2-Spades}

, and Gorham doubled up.

"Now I can play some poker!" said Gorham.

As the river card was being dealt, Boich had already begun walking away from table. "Hold on! Hold on!" said his tablemates. He turned around. In fact, he had Gorham covered by 2,500 or so.
