Amarillo Drawing Slim

Amarillo Slim Preston limps from under the gun, and an opponent in late position raises him to 1,600. Slim calls.

The flop comes {7-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {9-Spades}. Slim fires out all in for his last 5,500 chips. His opponent makes the call, and turns up his overpair, {J-Spades} {J-Clubs}. Slim is behind, but still has outs, tabling {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}. The turn and river blank off though, {4-Clubs} and {A-Spades}. Failing to hit any of his cards, the legend heads off into the crowd.
