Naidoo Doesn't

Before the flop, Sherwin Naidoo moved the last of his 650 chips into the pot. Action passed around the table, until Raphael Tansy made the call from the blind. He turned over {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} while Naidoo was racing for his tournament life with {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades}.

The flop hit Tansy well, coming {2-Hearts} {3-Spades} {5-Hearts}. "You know it's a PokerStars tournament with a flop like that," jested Alex Fitzgerald from across the table.

The turn was safe for Naidoo though, as the {10-Spades} did nothing to hurt him. The {4-Spades} hit on the river, giving Tansy the winning wheel and sending Naidoo to the rail with a frown on his face.

Tansy has moved up over his starting stack, and he now sits with about 14,000 in chips.
