Pagano Crippled Cruelly

Luca Pagano had his favorite hand when he had Mikko Jaatinen all in and on the ropes. It was Pagano's 
to Jaatinen's 
. The 
flop looked ideal for Pagano - top set is hard to beat. But the 
turn gave him something to sweat. And the evil 
river made Jaatinen a runner-runner four-flush of his only live suit to double up to 335,000 and leave Pagano with just 97,000.
When the river hit, one of the players at the table screamed and jumped out of his chair like he himself had been bitten. Luca took a few steps away from the table, stunned and staring without seeing.
