No Luck with the Ladies

A tough day for Chris Verkerk just got a little bit tougher. He was dealt a premium starting hand, {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades} and managed to get one of his opponents, Danilo Carlucci, all in preflop. Unfortunately for Verkerk, Carlucci also had a premium hand -- {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades}. The board ran out {8-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {4-Spades} {A-Hearts} to make aces full of fours for Carlucci. He now has 13,200 chips, while Verkerk falls to 7,300.
