Gordon's Looking for a Bad Beat
![[user101598]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
If you're wandering around the Amazon or Pavilion Rooms, you'll probably see players wearing a green patch that says something about putting a "Bad Beat on Cancer."
Well those patches were initiated by Phil Gordon who is a member of the Board of Directors for the Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation. Gordon has set up a donations program in conjunction with the World Series of Poker, where any player can instantly donate 1% (or more) of their winnings upon receiving them at the cage. All donations benefit the Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation.
Gordon's bad beat attempt has started a little slow today however.
A player raised to 350 from middle position and Gordon called with the button.
The flop fell 
and Gordon's opponent check-called a 600-chip bet. Both players checked the 
on the turn, but after the 
rivered, Gordon's opponent led for 1,000.
Gordon called, but mucked when his opponent opened 
for a pair of aces.
Gordon's stack slipped to 27,800.
