Luongo Sent to the Payout Desk

Roberto Luongo

We didn't catch the betting action, but we do know that NHL goalie Roberto Luongo was all in preflop with {4-}{4-} and in bad shape against the {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} of Bryan Vanrijsbergen.

The {8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{10-Spades} flop provided Luongo no help, while the {K-Clubs} river left him in need of a four on the river to keep his Main Event dreams alive. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {3-Hearts}. It was close, but not close enough. Luongo collected his things and made his way to the payout desk, adding a World Series of Poker Main Event cash to his r��sum��.
