Cardyn Cut in Half
Nicolas Cardyn held 
and was facing against an unknown player who held 
. Cardyn had his opponent covered, but he also had about half his stack in the pot. The 

flop left Cardyn wanting, as did the
turn. The
river put four spades on the board and improved Cardyn's opponent to a flush. With that, the Frenchman was left with 3,500.
