King Cut Down

Following a {J-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop, Carter King was just all in for his remaining stack, and found himself up against a single opponent. King flipped over {J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}, while his opponent showed {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}.

"All right," said King when he saw he actually was ahead, if precariously so. "Now if I can avoid these million outs."

The {5-Spades} turn did miss his opponent, but the {10-Hearts} river did not, giving him the flush and sending King out. "Best way I can miss a flop," said the winner afterwards as he stacked his new chips.
