"I Got Chop Outs"

We're not sure of the action, but we do know that Bryan Fortin got all in preflop holding {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} and was dominated by the {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds} of Samuel Holden. The {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop was no help to Fortin, but the {A-Hearts} made things interesting.

"I got chop outs," Fortin exclaimed. Indeed, while the turn delivered Holden a set, it put four hearts on the board, meaning another heart on the river would result in a chop. Fortin leaned in close as the dealer burned and revealed the {6-Diamonds}. It was a red card, but not what Fortin needed. He was eliminated from the tournament whole Holden chipped up to 1.535 million.
