Joe Cassidy and the Ace-High Kid

Joe Cassidy is dealt the {2-Spades} and is thus the bring-in. Bill Gazes, boasting the {A-Spades}, raises. Cassidy thinks for a moment and then sighs, "I have like the worst hand I could possibly have," and folds, leaving himself just 1,400 behind.

A few hands later, now playing Omaha, while Cassidy was still contemplating his fate, Bill Gazes had a bit of poor luck -- it looked like he would be scooping a nice pot with {A-?} {2-?} {Q-?} {Q-?} on a board that read {Q-?} {4-?} {5-?} {7-?}, but a {2-?} on the river scuppered his low and he chopped it with his opponent who was holding {A-?} {A-?} {K-?} {6-?}.

But back to Cassidy. Down to the absolute felt, he finds himself all in against two opponents, one of them Bill Gazes. They get as far as the turn of a {4-Spades} {5-Spades} {3-Spades} {J-Spades} board when Gazes folds to a bet from his opponent. Cassidy is behind, holding {2-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {9-Spades} to his opponent's {A-Spades} {5-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} and he receives no help from the {7-Hearts} river, and is OUT.
