Witteles Whittled

Todd Witteles has doubled up his opponent after moving all in on a board of {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{10-Spades}{J-Hearts} with {K-Spades}{J-Spades} for top pair--but his opponent held {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} for the nut flush draw, gutshot straight draw and overcards.

The river landed the {3-Spades} to give his opponent the flush, as Witteles slips to 20,100.
