Caranica Eliminated Despite Having the "Prettiest Hand"

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

It was all in pre-flop between Vasile Stancu and Philipp Caranica.

Stancu: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Caranica: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

The flop came {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades} giving Caranica top pair plus a straight draw. The turn was the {6-Diamonds} giving him a flush draw to go with it.

"Wow," said tablemate Michael Magalashvili, "What a sweat!"

The river was the blank {2-Spades} and Caranica was eliminated.

"Unlucky man," said Magalashvili. "At least you died with the prettiest hand!"
