Wells Strikes Out

MLB pitcher David Wells, who has played for the NY Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays, among others, took his shot at the Main Event today and unfortunately met an early end.

Down to only 4,500 in chips, Wells shoved all in preflop with {Q-Diamonds}

and was off to the races with an opponent holding {A-Hearts}

. The flop came jack-high and Wells turned a queen for a set, doubling him up to 9,000.

Shortly thereafter, the big blind bet out 600 on a board of {5-Diamonds}

and Wells raised to 1,800. The big blind called, then posed a question to Wells.

"How much do you have left, sir?"

"About 7,000," was Wells's reply.

The big blind moved the rest of his stack in dark and as the {7-Hearts}

landed on the river, Wells called.

Wells turned up {A-Diamonds}

for trip deuces, but his opponent had a full house with {2-Clubs}

and won the pot.

"Did you have fun, David?" he asked, as he stacked up his chips.

"Yeah, I had fun. But it sucks to leave early," replied Wells, as he hit the rail.
