Three Way Goes Badly for Sherwood

[user140525]

Minutes after Rob Sherwood picked up a big pot, he was back in the thick of things in a hand he'd rather have skipped. Carlo Federico Bordogna raised in the cutoff, and on the button, Sherwood made it 53,000 to go. Then big blind Daniel Aldridge cold four-bet shoved for about 135,000. The table gave off a murmur when Bordogna over-shoved for 169,500. Sherwood was in quite the spot. He knew his hand couldn't be good, but he was getting the right price to call anyway. So call he did, but the cards he saw were exactly what he didn't want.

Aldridge: {q-Hearts} {q-Spades}
Bordogna: {a-Spades} {k-Clubs}
Sherwood: {a-Clubs} {q-Diamonds}

"I'm dead then," Sherwood said, turning his cards face down again when he saw the other hands. "I suggest you make a straight," said a tablemate. But a straight was not to be. The board came {8-Hearts} {7-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {k-Spades} , and with the king on the river, Bordogna took the hand. Aldridge was eliminated, Sherwood dropped to 135,000, and Bordogna suddenly found himself with 475,000.
