Not So Lucky For Luckyshades

Tim "Luckyshades" Horan was first crippled in a hand with Jamie Beer. The chips went in on a flop of {7-Spades}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop with Horan in the lead with his {4-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for two pair but Beer held outs with {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

One of those outs was the {5-Diamonds} which hit on the turn to complete his straight. The river didn't repeat for Horan as the {3-Spades} fell, leaving him with less than 5,000 chips.

A few moments later Horan put what he had left in preflop with {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} against both Ali Abou-eid {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and a short-stacked Garry Chappell {J-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}.

Horan was looking good for a near-triple up when the board fell {2-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} however the {6-Hearts} peeled off on the river and Abou-eid scooped the pot to eliminate both opponents.
