Back to the Rail, Marty

Much to the disappointment of the crowd, the dream is over for one 'Mad' Marty Wilson. With Edmund Sweeney opening from under the gun, Marty Wilson moved all in from the small blind with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} (the second consecutive hand he'd been dealt the ladies) and Sweeney immediately called. Sweeney showed {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}.

"Come on, one black lady," requested Wilson in desperation. He surrounded his mouth with the palm of his hand before bellowing, "We need a black lady!"

The board came a black lady-less {8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts} and that was all she wrote. Marty Wilson: gone, but certainly not forgotten.
