Payne Calls for His Tournament Life

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Heads-up on the river with the board showing {10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{3-Spades}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, a player in middle position shoved all in and action was on Josh Payne.

Payne, with 25,000 behind, eventually called and showed {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}. His opponent turned over {a-Spades}{k-Spades} for ace-high and a missed flush draw as Payne doubled up.

"You couldn't give me an ace, king or a spade? All night you haven't given me anything," the defeated player angrily told the dealer.

"You think it's her fault," Keith Lehr, who has had a contentious relationship with his table neighbor all day to the point that the floor had to be called on multiple occasions, replied.
