Tom McEvoy Goes Out on a Brutal Beat

[user37786]

And the word "brutal" is no mere hyperbole. After Tony Korfman raised under the gun to 13,000, Hassan Kameoi moved all-in for 90,000. Lying in wait was Tom McEvoy, who called with his last 33,500.

Kameoi turned over pocket Tens, McEvoy had pocket Kings. The {Q-Diamonds}

flop gave McEvoy a stranglehold on the pot because he held the {K-Diamonds}

. There was only one card in the deck that could prevent the 1983 World Champion from doubling up. The {10-Hearts}

.

I don't need to tell you what fell on the turn, do I?

The one-outer didn't end the hand, as McEvoy could've caught a diamond that didn't pair the board to turn the tables. But the {A-Spades}

hit on the river and that was the end of McEvoy's day. And unlike the histrionics we've seen after other players busted out, Tom just went to the payout desk, handed over his card, and patiently waited for a runner to escort him to the cage.
