Play Dead

It's oh so quiet on table two as seat four's Jan Arne Bjerke leaves his post. It took two hands to cement his demise, but it was the former that really did the damage. Shoving his stack over the line with {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

on an

{6-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{2-Spades}

flop, Bjerke was in desperate need of a fifth and flush-filling diamond when his opponent revealed {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

, but the girl's best friend failed to sparkle as the turn and river both blanked out.

Down to a paltry 700, Bjerke managed to unearth {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

under-the-gun, but was unable to stand firm in the face of {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

which rivered an unlikely pair on a cruel {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

board.
