Jimmy Born From Hero to Zero

At one time during the shenanigans of Day 1 a man by the name of Jimmy Born was our chip leader. His day dipped after that rise to prominence, until the very last hand of the night, when he got it in against Richard Geyer in a huge pot - {K-} {K-} v {Q-} {Q-}. That pot put Born on 155,500, and into third spot on the leader board. So today should have been a great day for Born. Why then is he walking along the rail muttering into the air?

We caught up with Born and he was kind enough to describe his horrendous morning. His largest loss came against Larry Duplantis. The details were sketchy but I gather they got it in on the turn with Duplantis holding {J-Hearts} {10-} for a pair of tens and a straight flush draw and Born held {K-Hearts} {Q-} for the over cards, straight draw and flush draw. The river card handed Born his flush but it also completed the straight flush of Duplantis who now has 155,000 chips as a net result.

Born then moved tables and he was eliminated soon after by Jeremy Quehen. Quehen had check-raised enough chips to put Born all-in on a board of {6-Spades} {4-Clubs} {2-Clubs} and after a long dwell he made the call. Born held {A-Spades} {2-Spades} and Quehen held {5-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}. The turn {10-Spades} and river {3-Hearts} bricked for Born and he was out.
