Mirzikinian Takes Another Hit

The day started off so brightly for Warwick Mirzikinian, but things have not gone so well since coming back from dinner. He was recently dealt {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} and must have thought the coast looked clear on a board of {4-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {9-Spades} {3-Diamonds}. It wasn't; Derrick Wall had been dealt {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} and managed to convince Mirzikinian to call his all-in bet.

Mirzikinian was so dismayed to see that he was behind that he killed his own hand without mucking it, not realizing that the river was yet to be dealt. Wall wanted the dealer to declare Mirzikinian's hand dead, claiming that Mirzikinian had mucked it, but the dealer did not agree. The river was burned and turned the {J-Hearts}, allowing Wall to collect the pot anyway. He doubled up to about 32,000; Mirzikinian is down to 39,000.
