Furst Crippled

Rafe Furst raised on the button to 1,200. The small blind reraised all in for 7,625. Furst counted out his chip stack and tanked for several minutes.

He barely had his opponent covered and made the call with {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts}. His opponent showed pocket tens.

The flop didn't look good for Furst when it came {10-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {5-Hearts}, but it did give him a straight draw and a flush draw.

The turn was the {6-Clubs} and Furst's opponent had to sweat another card. But the river was the {9-Spades} and gave Furst's opponent a full house and crippled Furst to only 600 chips.
