Another Vicious Beat for Ford

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Joe Ford

Joe Ford limped under the gun, Marinela Selseth raised to 25,000 on the button, and Ken Heathcote made it about 60,000 in the big blind. Ford jammed, folding out Selseth. Ford started the hand with a little more than 400,000, covering Heathcote's 300,000 or so. Heathcote decided to call it off with {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, but Ford had him crushed with {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. The {4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop was safe enough for Ford, but the {9-Spades} left him shaking his head. A {k-Clubs} river was close but not what he needed.

The former chip leader, who was described as "walking on water" on Day 1b by a tablemate, has found naught but awful luck today.
