Unlucky Number Seven
They say it's simply a 50/50, and you shouldn't worry about the way the board develops when it's all in before the flop. But sometimes, just sometimes, it can really hurt. Just ask Harprit "Rana" Gurnam who just suffered a roller coaster of feelings in a board run out against his mate Sam Trickett.
Gurnam shoved all in for the 20,000 he had left, and got a call from Sam Trickett.
Harprit Gurnam: 
Sam Trickett: 
It wasn't a big pot whatsoever, but it was the most important one for Gurnam. This could either be his last hand, or maybe the start of a great comeback.
Things were looking good for the Brit on the flop, as he hit his set: 
. Trickett did pair up though, leaving him some runner runner outs to steal the pot and hopes away from Gurnam.
He wanted to see a king, ace, queen, jack, or ten on the turn - just some paint to leave the door open. The 
on the turn was just the card Trickett was looking for.
Gurnam wasn't so convinced anymore that he would win the hand.
And his gut feeling came true. The 
on the river ended the hand in dramatic fashion, making Trickett quads and just a tiny bit richer in chips. Meanwhile it meant the departure of the (still cheery) Gurnam.
