If the Schu(maker) Fits

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

We saw a disappointed Steve Schumaker standing to make his exit from the table, but after the dealer burned and turned the river card, he was summoned back to the table.

"Chop chop!," announced his opponent. "You're still in the game!"

After getting the last of his chips into the middle holding {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, Schumaker was called down by a player with {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}.

While the flop of {q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{q-Spades} came clean for Schumaker, the {4-Clubs} on the turn was a dagger through the heart. That's when Schumaker stood to make his departure, and he didn't even see the river come {5-Spades}.

"Suck and a re-suck," declared one of his tablemates. "You gonna write that one down?"

Indeed we are, and after the come from ahead chop, Schumaker has a story to write home about too.
