Mars Knocked Out of Orbit

Jean Jacques Mars was most pleased, managing to get all his chips in the middle preflop with {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} against Rune Thorsen's {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}.

...but disaster lay in wait on the board.

Board: {10-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}

Thorsen said he was sorry, and Mars picked up his cigar and card protector and with a sigh left the tournament area.
