There's No Savin' the Maven

The Maven - so good he gets the definite article
The Maven - so good he gets the definite article
A preflop encounter saw David Chicotsky all in from the big blind for around 200,000 with {A-Spades} {K-Clubs} -- but he was drawing pretty thin against Alan Jaffray's pocket {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}.

A glimmer of hope for the Maven on the {J-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {K-Diamonds} flop, but a bricky {4-Diamonds} turn and {5-Clubs} river sent him to the rail. He shook hands with everyone at his table in a most gentlemanly manner before heading for the payout desk.

Jaffray, whose t-shirt incidentally proclaims him to be not a fan of velociraptors, is up to almost 500,000.
