St-Pierre Hurting

Picking up the action on the turn of a {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{A-Hearts} board, Georges St-Pierre check-called a bet of 600 from an opponent and then led out for 1,000 when the {9-Diamonds} hit the river. A large raise to 6,000 came from St-Pierre's opponent and that was called immediately by St-Pierre.

His opponent tabled {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for the nut straight, besting St-Pierre's {K-Hearts}{9-Clubs} to leave the injured UFC Welterweight champion below the 10,000-chip mark.
