On a completed board of 10♦J♠5♣2♣Q♣, Nicholas Rigby was in middle position facing a bet of 14,000 into a pot of around 20,000. Brian Jones had made the wager out of the big blind. Rigby took some time then splashed in a call.
Jones showed A♣K♣ for the nuts.
"So sick," Rigby muttered.

The first of four starting flights is in the books at RunGood Grand Prix Caesars Southern Indiana $800 Main Event, and it's time for Day 1b here on Friday, Aug. 22.
Play kicks off at 6 p.m. local time with eight 30-minute levels to begin the day. Players will start with 30,000, and anyone who busts out may reenter as many times as they wish during that time frame. After the initial eight levels, the length gets bumped to 40 minutes per level. Play continues until fewer than 12.5% of the entries remain.
At that point, the remaining players will bag and advance in the money.
