If It Wasn't for Bad Luck...

Emanuel Seal raised to 2,000 and Craig Burgess moved in for 11,000. These were the same two who played the hand where quad fives came on the board and they chopped the pot because there was an ace showing. Seal said, "Why do we keep picking on each other?"

"You seem like a nice guy," Burgess said, and when it was folded back around Seal said, "I have no choice, I have to call."

He turned over {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds} to Burgess' {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}. The board ran {7-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {7-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} and Burgess was eliminated.
