Chris McCormack Loses a Big One

After one player limped from early position, Chris McCormack raised to 1,500 from late position. The player next to act moved all in for 4,500 and action was back to the limper who passed. McCormack made the call and the players showed:

McCormack: {A-Clubs} {10-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts}

The flop was dramatic, coming {K-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}. McCormack flopped Broadway but his opponent had plenty of outs. The turn brought a chop into the realm of possibility as it came the {A-Diamonds}. The {J-Hearts} on the river took McCormack from first to worst as it gave his opponent the boat. He slips to 14,800 after the hand.
