Professional players are known for showing resiliency when the deck goes cold, finding ways to grind their way through the lack of playable hands.

The following tweet issued by Luke Edwards showed that he was trying his best to keep afloat, despite being faced with a long run of bad hands and inopportune spots:

Luke EdwardsNo spots, no cards, two sets found me if I would have peeled 4bets pre. 22 left. #yuck

Unfortunately for Edwards, he got the last of his stack in the middle holding {9-}{10-} against Armando Then's {k-}{k-}, and although he made two pair, the board read something like {9-}{10-}{a-}{q-}{j-} (we missed the exact combination as the dealer scrambled the deck, but Then made a straight for the winner] to give his opponent the best hand.

Edwards hit Twitter up once more to inform his followers of the bad news:

Luke EdwardsI will not be winning the $660 #suckit
