Get it in Good

All you can do in poker is get it in good and hope variance is leaning your way. Eric Brewstein came along to tell me he did just that but was eliminated anyway.

It was a four way raised pot before the flop came down {J-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}. Brewstein moved in and another player called saying he'd give him a double-up and tabled {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}.

Brewstein's {A-Clubs} {A-Spades} was looking good through the {6-Spades} turn but the {7-Diamonds} river completed the flush and he was gone.
