Tom McEvoy

Tom McEvoy, the winner of the 1983 World Series of Poker, has been nursing a short stack all day. Recently, he raised to 5,600 from middle position, leaving himself around 30,000 behind, and Yevgeniy Timoshenko raised enough to put McEvoy all in. He made the call and Timoshenko said, "You're ahead."

Timoshenko: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}
McEvoy: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

Indeed, McEvoy was ahead, but not after the flop came down {8-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{4-Spades}. "Oh, come on," McEvoy pleaded. The {9-Diamonds} gave him some extra outs, but the {2-Hearts} did not deliver. McEvoy was eliminated from the Big Event while Timoshenko is up to 240,000.
