Ratcliff Falling Off

We pick up a heads-up contest with the flop showing {4-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {9-Spades}. The player first to act checked, and Mike Ratcliff put out a bet of 6,000 which his opponent called.

The turn card was the {2-Hearts}, and both players checked. The river brought the {Q-Clubs}. This time, the player in middle position led out with a bet of 13,000. Ratcliff lamented, "Oh, I let you get there," before splashing the call into the pot.

Ratcliff turned over his {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts}, only to see that he was behind his opponent's {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades} the whole way. After that misstep, Mike has slipped back to 48,000.
