Fenech Knocked Down, Not Out

Jeff Fenech, the Australian boxing champ, just took a nasty body blow. He had an opponent covered and all in on the turn with the board showing {8-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. Fenech had {J-Spades}{9-Spades} for the straight plus a flush draw, while his opponent held {A-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

The river brought the {A-Hearts}, though, giving Fenech's opponent a boat and sending him down to just 17,000 chips.

Fenech did double up on the following hand, however, and thus is still swinging with about 35,000.
