Ellis Going, Going, Going Gone

On a flop of {3-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, Mike Ellis checked to Joel Casper. Casper, the pre-flop raiser, continued with a bet of 4,000. Ellis raised all in and Casper quickly called. Ellis was on a draw with {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and was up against Casper's top pair, {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}. Ellis was thrilled to hit his draw with the turn {3-Diamonds}, but any king, any trey or any diamond would improve Casper to a better hand. The {6-Diamonds} came on the river to give Casper the nut flush and send Ellis packing.
