Hamilton's Day is Done

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Action folded to Gareth Hamilton in the hijack and he shoved for 99,000. Mark Spelman was to his direct left in the cutoff and asked for a count before moving all in over the top. The button and blinds got out of the way and the cards were turned on their backs.

Hamilton: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Spelman: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Hamilton was in bad shape and was looking for either an ace or hearts. The {3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop wasn't much help, and neither was the {5-Spades} turn. In order to survive, Hamilton needed an ace on the river, but it was not meant to be as the {2-Diamonds} blanked.
