"No Heart"

[user4144]

Michael Skomac (small blind), Alon Shahar (big blind) and Stuart Marshak (middle position) all saw a three-way flop of {7-Hearts}

, the mound of chips in the middle perhaps suggesting that Marshak had raised it up preflop and been called by the blinds.

Either way, after Skomac had checked, Shahar bet out 15,000 and Marshak pushed all in, pausing briefly before meticulously sliding his 75,000 stack across line.

With Skomac ducking out of the way, Shahar didn't look best pleased, but called nonetheless.

Shahar = {J-Hearts}

Marshak =

As the dealer dealt out the {8-Hearts}

turn, Marshak chanted, "No heart, no heart," not realizing he had the {A-Hearts}

in the hole.

Although a heart on the river would have been thoroughly amusing, if only to witness the befuddled reaction of Marshak, out came a harmless {Q-Clubs}

to pair the board and give the short-stack the pot.

"He calling no heart, baby, when he would have had the nut," commented Scotty Nguyen in the aftermath.
