Hammerschmidt Eliminated, Loudly

Steve Hammerschmidt made it 3,500 preflop in fairly late position; Mike Schwartz called him in the cutoff and they saw a flop of {J-?} {Q-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}. Hammerschmidt immediately went all in for 13,300, and Schwartz called.

Hammerschmidt: {Q-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}
Schwartz: {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}

Turn: {3-Clubs}

River: {A-Clubs}

Everyone in the Amazon Room quickly became aware of Mr Hammerschmidt's elimination, owing to his bellowing "CR@P!!! CR@P!!! CR@P!!!" as soon as the river hit the felt. An emotional moment indeed for Hammerschmidt, but suddenly self-aware, he offered a quick smile by way of apology for his outburst, and took his leave.
