Whelan and Dealin

[user22113]

Derek Whelan just ran into a bit of bad luck. His chip stack was severely hurt in a hand where the board read {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

.

Whelan's opponent was all in and Derek called, showing {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

. However, it was second best to his opponents {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

. Whelan was down to just over 2,000, but managed to double up a few hands later and now sits with 5,200.
