"What a Sick Fade"

Jeremy Menard got his short-stack all in preflop holding {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and was up against the {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} of Elliot Smith. It was another flip, with the {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop coming down relatively safe for Menard; however, the {K-Diamonds} turn sure made things interesting. Suddenly Smith had flush, straight, counterfeit, and over outs to take down the pot.

Luckily for Menard, the {2-Spades} blanked on the river and he survived the hand. "What a sick fade," Menard said as he stacked the pot.
