Hanks Hosed

When we found Brent Hanks he was mixing it up with another player on a flop of {6-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Hanks checked the flop and his opponent put out a bet of 6,600. After some contemplation Hanks raised and put out a stack of yellow chips making it 20,000 total. Hank's opponent immediately went all in and Hanks called just as fast.

Hanks:{a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Opponent: {q-}{q-}

Hank's opponent held top set of queens, but Hanks wasn't completely out of it as he still was drawing to a nut flush. The {J-Diamonds} turn gave Hanks a pair, but it was not the kind of card he needed. A river {K-Spades} was another miss and Hanks was forced to give a lot of chips away.
