"May The Worst Hand Win"

You know the world's topsy turvy when a player says, "May the worst hand win" on a showdown, Kido Pham calling the cutoff's all in from the button and tempting the poker gods into action.

On this occasion, however, there was no divine intervention as Kido's {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} failed to outdraw his opponent's leading-all-the-way {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} on a {J-Hearts}{A-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} board.

As a result, Kid is now on 11,500.
