Stud 8:

Todd Brunson has just lost a very costly pot indeed and is now down to a paltry 10,000 in chips.

With Brunson showing {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{5-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

{K-Clubs}

, his opponent check-raised him on the river from 2,400 to 4,800 with {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{6-Hearts}

{4-Diamonds}

{A-Hearts}

.

Perhaps already knowing his fate, Brunson reluctantly made the call, shaking his head and tilting his neck in the process.

Met by a {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

for a straight to the seven and an A-3-4-5-6 low, Brunson exhaled a deep sigh and looked at his cards frustratedly, as if hoping they would magically change into a winning hand if he glared at them menacingly enough.

After laying down his inferior {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

{6-Diamonds}

onto the felt, Brunson conceded the hand and the pot was passed over to his neighboring foe.
