No Luck for Neufeld

Trevor Neufeld has suffered a massive disaster, going from 70,000 chips to sweet nothing in just two awful hands.

With Jasper Wetemans all in with {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}, it couldn't have looked better for Neufeld -- he was holding pocket aces. But a {4-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} board later and a total lack of diamonds in Neufeld's hand meant that Wetemans doubled up and Neufeld was down to 30,000.

The very next hand, he found pocket kings and got his whole stack in against Mark Vos' {A-?} {K-?} -- and bang, out came the ace to send the unfortunate Neufeld to the rail. Smacked in the face by the deck, indeed.
