Carter Gill Can't Win

It's been a trying afternoon for Carter Gill. He opened yet another pot, this time to 20,000 from the button, only to have Kuok Wai Will Cheong move all in for 108,000 from the big blind. Gill made the call with {3-Diamonds} {3-Spades} and was racing against Cheong's {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}.

Gill was pumped to hit a set on the {3-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {9-Spades} flop, whooping and hollering. He called out, "No ten!" as the dealer burned and turned the turn card, but it was the {10-Spades}. Even louder, he implored the dealer, "No jack!" No such luck for Gill -- the river was the {J-Hearts} to make a queen-high straight for Cheong.

Cheong now improbably finds himself with 222,000 chips, while Gill has slipped to 90,000 and continues to steam. On the three hands immediately after this hand, Gill has looked at one card and then mucked before the dealer has even completed the deal.
