World Champion Down

Tom McEvoy - Eliminated
Tom McEvoy - Eliminated

Tom McEvoy, the 1983 World Series of Poker Main Event champion, had an opponent all in and at risk with the board reading {2-Spades}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades}. McEvoy was ahead with {8-}{8-} against {k-Spades}{j-Spades}, but the {4-Spades} turned, giving his opponent a flush. The river was a meaningless {7-Hearts}, and McEvoy was left with just 700 chips.

He got the rest of his chips in the next hand with {7-Spades}{6-Hearts} against an opponent with {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. The board ran {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, and McEvoy hit the rail.
