Gone But Not Forgotten

Crikey O'Reilly, exits are like buses, you wait ages for one to arrive, then several pop their head around the corner at once. Today is no different, with the latest man made to walk the plank being American Brandon Schaefer.

With Jacobo making up the small blind and Brandon checking the big, the two players see a {4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} flop before Jacobo leads out with a pot bet. Brandon responds with a pot bet of his own, his reraise triggering yet another raise from Jacobo to put Brandon all in.

Brandon did indeed call, but found himself in need of assistance with {10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} against Jacobo's {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}. A non-flushing {2-Clubs} on the turn and {8-Hearts} on the river wasn't enough, and the hugely popular Shaefer was out. Gone but not forgotten... who was I talking about again?
