Whoops

Margaret Macre drew into a nice-looking board of x-x / {9-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts}. She led the betting on every street, and was called each time by one opponent -- Ron Long, who had taken a bit of an early hit to his stack today after being reraised a few times on third street and having to fold on fourth or fifth. Long showed a nice low board of x-x / {4-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {6-Hearts}.

On the river, Macre again bet and Long again called. "Kings full," said Macre, turning over {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {10-Spades} in the hole. There was only one problem - Macre didn't actually have kings full. Instead she had three pair, for a final hand of two pair, kings and jacks. Long opened {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} in the hole, for a seven-high straight for high and a six-five for low. That enabled him to scoop the whole pot.

After this costly error, Macre is down to just 30,000 chips, while Long rockets up to 185,000.
