Rough Start for Forrest

We caught the action on the river with a board reading {J-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. It was heads up and the under-the-gun player had checked to Ted Forrest, who bet 2,000. The UTG player then woke up with a check-raise to 8,500. Forrest thought for a moment before making the call, only to muck when his opponent revealed his {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flush.

Forrest has already lost a third of his chips and is down to just under 20K.
