Van Falling

Jon Van Fleet may have started the day with a healthy stack of chips, but he just lost about 20,000 to an opponent who managed to double-up with the help of a runner-runner straight.

All the chips were in on the flop and Van Fleet was looking good with a set against his opponent's top pair.

Van Fleet: {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The board was reading {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs} by the time the chips went in. When the river brought the {9-Diamonds} into play, Van Fleet's opponent had picked up a gut-shot straight-draw, which he hit with the {j-Diamonds} on the river.

Van Fleet is now down to 97,000 chips.
