Abdul Amer was recently eliminated in 3rd place, falling to Joe Mckeehen in what appeared to all who observed the hand to be a bad beat on the river.
Mckeehen flopped top pair with 
on a jack-high flop, but a third jack on the river improved his hand immensely.
After Amer got his chips in the middle and discovered the bad news, he told Mckeehen that he needed to hit the fortunate river card, suggesting that he held an overpair to the board.
Despite being bounced from the tournament on a brutal river beat, Amer will likely be in good spirits soon, as he pocketed $25,230 for his deep run here at the Borgata.
