Topakas Crippled

Tough days for Steve "Big Show" Topakas as his stack drops down to 8,500.

An opponent made it 3,000 to go from the hijack position. Another re-raised all in from the small blind as did Topakas from the big blind. The original raiser folded and we were at showdown.

Topakas tabled {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} against his opponent's {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} for a classic race.

The board bought a crushing {K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} giving his opponent the nut flush and Topakas with a bad taste in his mouth.
