Demmerley Meets His Demise

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Art Demmerley got his stack of 11,000 or so all in preflop and was racing against Tom MacKinnon.

Demmerley: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
MacKinnon: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

It was a flip, and all Demmerley needed to do was hold in order to survive. The {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop not only kept Demmerley in the lead, it also gave him an open-ended straight draw. Conversely, the {4-Hearts} turn was kind to MacKinnon as it gave him a flush draw to go with his overs.

The {5-Hearts} river allowed MacKinnon to complete the said flush, and a downtrodden Demmerley took his leave from the Main Event.
