THE SPORTSMAN -- After all of those posts from DaveShoelace about Cristiano Blanco getting it in ahead and losing, and then getting it in ahead and winning, I was almost expecting him to turn over the best hand when he reraised Terry Cook all in preflop (10,425 over the initial bet of 1,500). But Cook called quickly:

Cook: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Blanco: {K-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

The flop: {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} (and with the pessimism or just perversity almost all poker players seem to possess, everyone was now murmuring about the ten for the straight).

Turn: {4-Diamonds}
River: {9-Hearts}

No straight, and we're down another player.
