Norm MacDonald Busts in Brutal Fashion

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Having spent more time up from his seat watching basketball (like a fair few players, to be fair) than in it for the last level, Norm MacDonald has hit the rail right after the cut-off time for re-entry. Down to 11,600, he three-bet all in from the cutoff over a preflop open in early position; call.

MacDonald: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Preflop opener: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The flop came down with the {k-Diamonds} in the door, plus an accompanying {10-Clubs}{j-Spades}. "Don't do it," was said. But the turn did it: the {a-Spades} brought in the straight for the pocket queens, and no amount of saying, "Pair the board!" could make the river {7-Spades} do so.

"Brutal," said one of his neighbours, then, "See you in October."
