"Tassie Devil" Halved

[user92162]

Heath "Tassie Devil" Chick had just got back to starting stack, and was ready to begin the accumulation process anew. Unfortunately, he's found himself under half the starting stack once again.

An opponent in middle position opened for 600, with Chick raising from the small blind to 1,800. His opponent making the call to go to the flop.

On a {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{9-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

flop, Chick led out for a bet of 3,000 with his opponent moving all in over the top for around 10,000 chips. Chick confidently asked for a count and then made the call, tabling his {k-Clubs}

{k-Clubs}

{k-Spades}

for two pair. His opponent tabled {a-Diamonds}

{a-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

for a flush draw.

The turn would be a disaster for Chick, bringing the {j-Diamonds}

{j-Diamonds}

to make his opponent's hand. The {j-Clubs}

{j-Clubs}

was no help to Chick and he's back to a shorter stack again, sitting at around 8,000.
