"What a Jinx!"
Level 24
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Charles Nahum in the hijack was all in and at risk for 115,000-chip stack against Selim Zegour in early position.
Charles Nahum: K♦K♥ 
Selim Zegour: 9♣9♠
On a board of 6♥7♣8♠10♠, Zegour hit a straight on the turn, and Nahum stood up. “Good game, GG,” Zegour repeated with a smile. But this overconfidence was punished by the 9♦, which completed a straight on the board to make them split. “What a jinx,” Zegour joked as Nahum returned to his seat.
