Bichon Looks Up Lannermark

[user66118]

Mattias Lannermark was first to enter the pot, already committed to the 10,000-chip small blind. When the table folded to him, he made sure, then half-asked, "I'm all in(?)" rising at the end of his sentence as if it were a question.

Thomas Bichon was in the big blind, and he eyed up the ~290,000 chips Lannermark had wagered before peeking at his hole cards. "Ooh, the first one is good. It's an ace." He slowly peeled the second card, then shook his head. It was a close decision, apparently, but Bichon eventually slid the chips forward to put Lannermark at risk.

Showdown
Lannermark: {K-Hearts} {8-Spades}
Bichon: {A-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}

The flop was a huge blow to Lannermark's chances as it came {9-Hearts} {9-Spades} {Q-Spades} to put him in a hole that he would not climb out of. The turn {10-Hearts} gave him the four jacks as outs to win, but the river was the {8-Diamonds} and the end of his day.
