Brutal River Decision
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
John Vournas raised to 900 from early position, and Maxwell Donohue reraised to 2,500 from his immediate left. Action folded around to Donohue who decided he wanted to see three.
Heads-up to a flop of K♠8♠2♠. Action checked around.
Things became more interesting as the J♦ landed on the turn, and Vournas made a bet of 2,000. Donohue quickly called.
After the A♣ fell on the river, Vournas elected to put Donohue at risk for his remaining 16,000 chips, overbetting into a pot of 10,000.
After some deliberation, Donohue hesitantly called.
Maxwell Donohue: A♥J♥ 
John Vournas: 7♠6♠
The worst runout imaginable for Donohue, as his runner-runner two pair was not enough to overcome the flopped flush from Vournas, concluding his tournament.
