Nasty River

I caught up with Ramzi Jelassi, who told me about his unfortunate exit. An opponent bet out for 10,000 on the turn and he moved all in for 14,000 with the board reading {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts}-x-{9-Hearts}.

His opponent made the call holding {K-?} {Q-?} for top pair and gutshot straight draw. Jelassi was in good shape with A-{A-Hearts} for an over pair and redraw to a flush. Wouldn't you know it, a non-heart jack fell on the river to eliminate the eternally unlucky Swede.
