Horan Can't Beat Ace-High

Catching the action on a flop of {2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, the action checked to Tim "Luckyshades" Horan, who fired a bet of 5,000. His opponent in the small blind then minimum check-raised to 10,000. Horan quickly called.

The turn brought the {2-Spades} and the small blind tossed out 10,000. Horan raised it up to 25,000 and his opponent made the call.

The river brought the {5-Hearts} and the small blind led again, this time for a small bet of 15,000 into the very healthy pot.

Horan tanked for several minutes, riffling his chips, appearing as if he was about to raise, but tossed out three 5,000-denomination chips to make the call.

Both players were reluctant to show their cards as Horan motioned to the small blind to show first. He revealed {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} for just ace-high as Horan dropped his head and slowly slid his cards into the muck.

"I knew you didn't hit," sighed Horan. "I wish I'd raised!"

Horan slips to 70,000.
