Sang-Frode?

Frode Gjesdal was in agony, not Spanish Inquisition style agony or the pain of giving birth but more the kind that only long-suffering sports fans can really understand.

Gjesdal looked to have four-bet to 11,000 with what seemed to be just 9,000 back only for his opponent to have set him all in. Gjesdal took about three minutes before finally calling off his remaining stack with {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. Upon seeing his opponent turn over a meagre but live {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, Gjesdal decided simply he couldn't bring himself to watch and wandered off away from the rail.

The dealer put out a board of {4-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades}{7-Clubs} and was shoveling the chips in his direction as Gjesdal finally came back to discover the poker gods had been cruel to him.
