Romero Finds the River to Deliver Tucker to the Rail
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
On a board of 10♣J♥4♦7♣, there were around 25,000 chips in the middle when Alex Romero checked it over to Raefe Tucker, who made a small bet. Romero then shoved, and Tucker called off his stack of just over 20,000.
Raefe Tucker: A♣K♠ 
Alex Romero: K♥Q♦
Tucker had made the right call and just needed to dodge an ace or a nine on the river to double up. However, the poker gods were, at least for now, on Romero's side as the A♠ river completed his straight, which sent Tucker to the rail.
