Gordon Staring at Ceiling

If a poker player is staring at the ceiling, it's never a good sign. On a board of {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {9-Spades} and with about 13,000 in the pot already, Dan Harrington led into Phil Gordon for 9,000 chips. Gordon tanked for a surprisingly long time, long enough for a player at the table to request a clock from TD Jack McLelland. That was enough for Gordon to call.

"Ugh," said Gordon in disgust upon seeing Harrington's full house, fours full of nines, {4-Spades} {9-Clubs}. He angrily flipped his own cards towards the dealer. "Nice catch."

Gordon continues to trend downwards for the day, now sitting with less than 100,000 chips.
