Good-Bye Gordon!

Phil Gordon was in the small blind when action folded to him. He opted to raise to 600 only to have the player in the big blind move all in. Gordon made the call for his tournament life and was ahead when the cards were flipped.

Gordon: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Big Blind: {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

Gordon's hand quickly became an underdog when the flop came {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, leaving him in desperate need of a ten. Unfortunatley, the {8-Diamonds} on the turn and {7-Hearts} on the river didn't help and Gordon was sent home.
