In a four-way limped pot, with the flop showing {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{3-Spades}

, Mike McClain moved all in from the big blind for his last 20,800. Shayne Heinz asked for a count and eventually made the call. The other two players in the hand got out of the way and a showdown ensued:

Showdown:
McClain: {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

Heinz:

{A-Hearts}

{A-Clubs}

Ecstatic to see that he was a favorite on the flop, Heinz's emotions did a complete 180 as the turn completed McClain's nut flush ( {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

). The river brought an unnecessary sixth diamond for McClain ( {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

), whose flush won him the pot and about 45,000 in chips.

"Guess I had the wrong ace," Heinz said after the hand. The pot left Heinz with just 7,000 in chips.
