Derbyshire - not as smart as he looks

Ernst Hermans raised to 29,000 under the gun and it folded around to Marty Derbyshire on the button, who moved all in. The blinds folded back to Hermans who must have felt he was live and priced in, and made the call.

Derbyshire: {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades}
Hermans: er... {5-Clubs} {7-Clubs}

Board: {10-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}

Yikes. "Nice playing with you," said a very gentlemanly Derbyshire, "Nice hand." He made a sad face as he left the table though. Thus ended an excellent run for one of the hardworking poker media's own, and none will be more pleased for him than his co-workers -- Derbyshire was only playing for 35% of himself, with the rest divided among the other guys from his company. Happy days over at that particular media outlet...
