The Lucky Lotion a Minute Too Late

David Williams just couldn't get anything going today

From late position, Val Newman raised to 600. David Williams called from the button. The two players saw the flop come down {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{9-Spades}

{6-Spades}

and Newman checked. Williams moved all in for his last 2,350 and Newman made the call.

Williams held {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{9-Clubs}

for a set and Newman had a flush draw with {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{10-Spades}

and a gutshot straight draw.

The turn came the {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

and Williams needed to dodge the river to stay alive and double up.

It just wouldn't be in the cards for Williams when the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

hit the river, completing a runner-runner straight for Newman.

Williams was eliminated from the tournament just as his mother showed up to give him his lucky lotion. A little late for that.
