Hope She's Not Reading

Poor Willem De Vries. His girlfriend has already been lusting after Mike McDonald through the television screen, and now "Timex" has conquered her man.

The pot began with De Vries opening to 1,500 under the gun, and someone along the line three-bet to 3,300. Mike McDonald came in from the cold with another raise to 6,625. De Vries shoved for about 26,000 total, the player in the middle folded, and McDonald made the call with a chance at the knockout with {10-Spades} {10-Hearts}. De Vries didn't like the news, and he slapped his inferior {2-Clubs} {2-Spades} down on the felt.

The board ran out {4-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {4-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}, and De Vries was at least relieved to not have to return to a short stack tomorrow. We wonder what his girlfriend thinks of all this, though.
