John Bladon

John Bladon has been riding a middling stack for most of the day, and he finally went with {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

in an all-in shove. He was looked up by an opponent with {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

, and Bladon liked his chances. "Come on, baby!" he said with a clap of the hands.

The flop was no fun, though. It came {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

, and Bladon astutely observed, "That's not good." The {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

on the turn left him drawing dead to a chop with quads, but the river {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

was not the one-outer he was looking four.

That's the end of the day for "Johnny Blade", headed back to his native Canada with $5,210 for his efforts.
