Paradise Lost

Just before the break, Darren Paradise had his shorter-stacked opponent all in with the board showing {3-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{K-Spades}{3-Hearts}. Things were looking good for Paradise, as he held {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}, having his opponent's {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} in sad shape.

But the {A-Hearts} popped out on the river, giving his opponent the bigger boat and Paradise got knocked back down to 10,500.
