Gordon Bennett!

Whilst simultaneously hoping that the above title of expressing shock or surprise isn't exclusive to the British isles, I bring you news of the recent demise of Phil Gordon. We didn't catch his final hand (although it's really easy to spot when Gordon exits a room), but do possess knowledge of his prior decimation.

Raising preflop to 450, an unknown player in the small blind made it 4,350 and Gordon called all-in. Although dominating with aces versus jacks, a third knave on the turn was enough to leave Gordon with nothing but a bowl of rice and a expression like a bulldog chewing a wasp.
