Mackey Crippled By Brutal River Card

When the magical words of, "All in" and "call" are heard ringing throughout the Main Event, everyone flocks to that table, including us!

We came in with board reading {a-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and James Mackey had another player at his table all in. Mackey had {a-}{2-} and his opponent had {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} Mackey seemed primed for an early double, but the river was not so kind as the dealer peeled off the {k-Hearts} to give the other player a better two pair.

Mackey nearly fell out of his chair as he grabbed his head and showed his frustration. Luckily for Mackey, he still has some chips left but will need to pick his spots well if he wants to get out of this ealry hole he has fallen into.
