We pick up a heads-up contest with the flop showing {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

. The player first to act checked, and Mike Ratcliff put out a bet of 6,000 which his opponent called.

The turn card was the {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

, and both players checked. The river brought the {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

. This time, the player in middle position led out with a bet of 13,000. Ratcliff lamented, "Oh, I let you get there," before splashing the call into the pot.

Ratcliff turned over his {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

, only to see that he was behind his opponent's {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{K-Spades}

the whole way. After that misstep, Mike has slipped back to 48,000.
