Philippoussis Joins Warne on the Rail

Aussie tennis great Mark Philippoussis flopped a great hand. His {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts} made top pair and the second-nut flush draw on a board of {K-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {7-Hearts}. He therefore bet 1,200 after the big blind checked to him. The big blind then moved all in, with Philippoussis calling all in for 6,350 total. He found himself up against probably the one hand he didn't want to see -- the flopped flush, made with {J-Hearts} {2-Hearts}. "Poo," as he is affectionately known in Australia, didn't get there with his draw. The turn {A-Spades} and river {Q-Diamonds} gave him two pair, but that wasn't enough. He's out.
