Goodwin Fails to Hit the Marc

Not a good win for Goodwin
Not a good win for Goodwin
"Standard" grumbled Marc Goodwin as he departed, but if this is "standard" for Mr. Cool, then he sure needs to stop walking under those ladders and encountering those black cats.

All in for around 12,000 on a {5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop, Goodwin's disgruntled expression and motioning of fingers reaching into the back of his throat spoke volumes as not one, but two players pushed all in behind him.

The first chap, and the shortest of the two remaining stacks, was Tony Duffield with {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, and the second was Fuad Serhan with an in-splendid-shape {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. Sandwiched in the middle was Goodwin with {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}.

With the turn dealing out a {4-Hearts}, and the river a {4-Clubs}, no miracle emerged and two players departed in one fell swoop. "Nice," declared a frustrated Goodwin as a quietly jubilant Serhan scooped up the pot.
