Roger and Out

Ed Roger has been grinding like Tony Hawks today and was just seconds away from becoming my 'Grinder of the Day' (an illustrious award, I'm sure you'll agree), but then disaster struck as he found himself sitting on the rail with just four hands to go!
It was Ivey-conqueror Peter Wood who lit the first spark, opening to 2,400 form UTG+1. With around 20,000 in front of him, Roger moved his sole column across the felt from the button, but was chagrined to hear John Tabatabai announce all-in from the small blind for around 45,000.
"No way, no way," boomed Peter Wood as he rose abruptly from his seat, frustrated to be faced with a tricky decision so late in the day. "No way, not 12 minutes from the end. Fold, I fold."
After inquiring as to his opponent's hand, Roger celebrated the good news with a sense of relief: "This is awesome! I'm coin flipping and I have no idea how."
Roger: 
Tabatabai: 
But despite his elation, the Poker Gods were in decisive mood and swiftly dashed any hopes with a 
flop, much to the relief of Wood who claimed to have folded tens. Roger did have outs to a flush, but no such fortune emerged as the turn and river came 
and 
respectively to send him home.
