Comeuppance for Slade?

Blake Slade - life support
Blake Slade - life support

Blake Slade has not won himself many fans in the room today with his brash, loud style of table talk. No doubt several of the players in his vicinity were thrilled to see him take a huge beat in a recent pot against Mikhail Lakhitov. Slade checked dark on the turn {j-Spades} {4-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {a-Hearts}, then check-raised all in after Lakhitov bet 25,000. Lakhitov made a double-fist-pump-snap-call.

"Do you have a set?" Slade asked. Lakhitov did not -- he had {k-Clubs} {q-Clubs} for the nuts.

"Oh my God! I have aces up," said Slade. Slade opened top and bottom pair, {a-Spades} {4-Hearts}. The river {5-Diamonds} did not give him a full house. He's been crippled to about 50,000 chips.

A few hands later Lakhitov knocked out Lee Childs when Lakhitov's pocket queens held strong against Childs' {A-} {j-}. Lakhitov know has about 600,000.
