Dominating Yet Distraught

Joseph Elpayaa opened to around 9,000 from middle position and the action folded to Jonathan Aguiar who shoved for his remaining 50,000 chips. Elpayaa called and the hands were tabled:

Elpayaa: {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Aguiar: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

"Oh no," Aguiar sighed even though he had Elpayaa dominated.

The flop fell {5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{J-Diamonds}.

"Here come running diamonds," Kevin Saul said from near our table.

(Notice how running diamonds mean nothing.)

The turn came the {5-Hearts}.

"Good game everyone," Aguiar said standing from the table.

Aguiar's reverse jinx worked, as a harmless {2-Diamonds} fell on the river doubling him to 100,000 chips.

All Aguiar could say about the hold was, "Wow."
