Hecklen Busts Hu

Level 6 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Big stack not long ago, Tom Hu went from hero to zero after yet another clash with Henrik Hecklen. Hu got the remainder of his short stack in after the {q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop to create the following showdown:

Tom Hu: {k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}
Henrik Hecklen: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}

Hu had a lot of outs with his gutshot and flush draw, but the {k-Spades} turn and {10-Diamonds} river run out brought no help.
