Oops!

[user67765]

Reza Vakili raised from the button and Dennis Huntly made the call in the small blind.

The flop came down {A-Diamonds}

and Huntly immediately announced he was all in. Vakili snap-called and tabled {A-Hearts}

for trips as Huntly sheepishly revealed {5-Clubs}

for complete air! Oops!

The turn was the {J-Clubs}

and river the {5-Diamonds}

and Vakili doubles to 50,000 with Huntly falling to 85,000.
