Willie Bad Luck

Willie Tann
Willie Tann
The legend that is Willie Tann has fallen by the wayside, the victim of some cruel ladies. Short-stacked, he open-shoved under the gun and the rest of his table duly folded -- until the action reached Yevgeniy Timoshenko, who looked down and found {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}.

Tann was is terrible shape with {J-Spades} {Q-Spades}, and although there were chants of "Nine! Nine!" on the turn of the {8-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} board, the river came an unhelpful {5-Diamonds}, sending Tann to the rail. "What bad luck!" he complained, although smiling. "The very last guy, and he finds queens!" He exited to a round of applause from the remaining players, though, and takes home 18th-place money for his trouble.
