Frustration for Rumit

For someone who uses a Rubik's Cube for a card protector, you'd expect 'One Hand' Rumit Somaiya to be oblivious to frustration, but even the upcoming hand would have made Cool Hand Luke stomp up and down like a gorilla without a banana.

With Ran Agur and Javier Dominguez both limping in early position, Somaiya woke up with pocket nines in the big blind and pushed all in. Agur side-stepped out of the way, but Dominguez was less accommodating and opted to call with pocket eights.

With the board coming three hearts, the {9-Hearts} on the turn was bittersweet for Somaiya as the dealer popped out a cheeky {A-Hearts} on the river for a split pot. If he had any hair, then I'm sure he would have pulled it out, but either way, he stays on 25,000.
