Ace on the River...Not NOW

John Myung was all in before the flop with {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} to his opponent's {7-Spades} {7-Hearts}. The {6-Hearts} {5-Spades} {4-Clubs} brought Myung no help and the {7-Clubs} on the river left him hoping for a chop if the board ended up making both players a straight. But on the river Myung got the {A-Spades} that he no longer wanted, and losing that pot dropped him to 11,600.
