A Bad Turn-er Card

Level 4
Jon Turner - out
Jon Turner - out

No-Limit Hold'em

Jon Turner was all in for 8,400 on a {Q-Spades} {10-Hearts} {8-Hearts}, and another player was all in for less. A third player in the hand looked both opponents up, and he had the covering stack and the draw with {A-Hearts} {10-Spades}. Turner showed {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} for top set, and the short stack's {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} was drawing dead to one out.

Turner didn't like his hand either, and he made a tongue-in-cheek offer of $5,000 to buy his opponent's hand. He said he knew it was coming, and table mate Mike Matusow called him crazy. "It's not coming," Matusow predicted.

Turn: {7-Hearts}

Or, well, maybe it is coming. The flush was the hand to beat now, and Turner needed to pair the board (not the ten) to stay alive. The river was the {K-Clubs} though, and two players fall to the rail.
