Lichtenberger Not Lucky, Getting Chewed Up

Level 4 : 150/300, 0 ante

Andrew "LuckyChewy" Lichenberger was a pretty short stack at the start of the hand, and he was even shorter at the end of it.

The pot comprised exactly 9,050 on the turn, the board reading {q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}. Lichtenberger checked and behind him in the hijack Leo Fernandez checked as well.

The river was the {3-Diamonds} and Lichtenberger checked again. Fernandez tanked for what felt like an hour (possibly an exaggeration) before checking behind, and turning over {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. Lichtenberger mucked his hand, then changed his mind; the obliging dealer returned his hand so that he could show a {q-}.

Fernandez is at 44,000 now, Lichtenberger at just 10,000.
