Captain Tom's Ship is Sunk

"Captain" Tom Franklin has been pretty quiet today, content to watch a movie on his iPad. That changed recently when he was under the gun and put in a raise to 800. Action folded to the player in the small blind who raised to 1,800. Franklin called and the two watched the flop fall {7-Hearts}{K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}.

The small blind was first and simply moved all in for 14,250, which barely had Franklin covered. "There are two hands you could have, one I can beat and one I can't," Franklin said. After a minute of thought, Franklin said, "What the heck," and put in the chips.

Franklin: {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Small Blind: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

Franklin saw the bad news and said, "I didn't even think of that [hand]." The dealer burned and turned the {5-Spades}. "I need a five or jack," he said, forgetting the last remaining king would give him four of a kind. Sure enough the dealer put out the river making quads . . . for the small blind. It was the {7-Spades} and Franklin was eliminated from the tournament.
