Battle of the Blinds Sends "Rico" Packing

Action is folded around to the blinds, and the small blind makes the call. Douglas "Rico" Carli moves all in from the big blind for his remaining 4,000 in chips with {8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. His opponent makes the call with {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}.

The flop pairs both players as it falls {6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{A-Clubs}. The turn {J-Diamonds} and river {7-Spades} aren't what Rico wanted, and he heads to the rail.
