No Luck for the Irish

[user46392]

Further ooh-ing and aah-ing from Jim Kerrigan's table as he knocked out cheerful Irishman Sylvester Geoghegan in most upsetting fashion. They got their chips in preflop, Geoghegan holding {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Hearts}

and Kerrigan miles behind with {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

.

Flop: {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

{4-Spades}

Turn:

{7-Spades}

and Geoghegan couldn't be much further ahead

River: {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

meaning that Kerrigan has rivered a one-outer to take the pot. "He's redeeming himself for folding those jacks," chuckles a neighbor. Geoghegan makes a gentlemanly exit and Kerrigan politely ignores the neighbor.
