Seufert Celebrates Prematurely

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Zachary Seufert opened from early position and David Phornton shipped all in for 20,900 on the button. Once the blinds folded, Seufert made the call and the cards were on their backs.

David Phornton: {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Zachary Seufert: {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The flop came {a-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Seufert celebrated with a fist pump after flopping two pair. However, the turn brought the {q-Hearts} which caught the eye of the rest of the table. Phornton picked up a straight draw and the table started to anticipate Seufert's early celebration ending poorly.

The dealer burned and turned the {10-Spades} on the river giving Phornton a straight. Seufert was left with his head in his hands as he couldn't believe that Phornton caught his runner-runner outs to double up.
