Eddleman Exits

[user66118]

Four players came into the pot for the price of the big blind, looking to see a cheap and friendly flop.

The dealer spread out the first three action cards: {5-Clubs}

. Jeff Daubs checked, and Mark Eddleman moved all in for a total of 21,700. Action was on John McDonald, and he cut the calling chips out of his stack. After a moment of careful consideration, he splashed them into the pot, putting Eddleman's tournament in jeopardy while the other two limpers ducked out.

"I flopped a straight and an open-ended straight-flush draw," said Eddleman, turning over {4-Clubs}

.

"I flopped a flush," came the reply from McDonald, tabling {Q-Clubs}

.

"I got outs," Eddleman reassured himself. Unfortunately for him, the dealer couldn't find any of his outs as the turn and river blanked off {J-Clubs}
