Snowman Melts Linton's Chances

Ken Corkery has endured more suffering than a decade of being a Newcastle fan today, his nails gnawed down to the bone on numerous occasions. His latest jittery encounter was against fellow short-stacker Pete Linton. All in with {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} versus {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, the {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} flop appeared clinical at first, and after the inevitable gasp at the {7-Spades} turn, the table erupted as the dealer popped out a climatic {8-Diamonds} on the river.

Corkery was clearly elated, and emotionally exhausted at the same time as he dropped his head to the felt. Linton, meanwhile, wore a face like a firmly spanked bottom as he shook his head dismissively at the board.

Corkery now on over 30,000, but Linton is in dire straits with just 6,000.
