No Luck for the Irish

Further ooh-ing and aah-ing from Jim Kerrigan's table as he knocked out cheerful Irishman Sylvester Geoghegan in most upsetting fashion. They got their chips in preflop, Geoghegan holding {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} and Kerrigan miles behind with {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}.

Flop: {2-Spades} {9-Hearts} {4-Spades}

Turn: {7-Spades} and Geoghegan couldn't be much further ahead

River: {Q-Clubs} meaning that Kerrigan has rivered a one-outer to take the pot. "He's redeeming himself for folding those jacks," chuckles a neighbor. Geoghegan makes a gentlemanly exit and Kerrigan politely ignores the neighbor.
