Ross Losing Ground

We picked up the action in a heads-up pot as the dealer spread out a flop of {6-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {10-Spades}. A middle-aged man led out with a bet of 1,000, and his lone opponent, Matt Ross, raised to 3,000. His opponent called, and the turn came the {K-Diamonds}.

The unknown player led right back out into the pot with another 2,000 chips. Ross flat-called this time, and the river revealed the {8-Clubs}. The bet was another 4,000, and Ross reluctantly folded, open-mucking his {6-Spades} {8-Spades}. His opponent flashed {K-?} {J-?} off-suit as he dragged in that little pot, dropping Ross down around 40,000 now.
