Amarillo Slim Loses On The River

[user37786]

Amarillo Slim Preston and another player got all the money in before the flop, with Slim holding {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

and the other player pocket nines. The {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

{6-Spades}

looked to be a good one for Amarillo Slim, though the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

on the turn most certainly wasn't a good card, as it gave his opponent an open-ended straight draw. And that's what did Slim in, the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

on the river that made the other player's straight. That loss dropped Amarillo Slim down to 18,000.
