Vann Gets Unlucky

[user75032]

In the space of a few orbits, Alexander Dovzhenko has becoming the overwhelming chip leader. He recently raised a pot pre-flop from early position to 15,000. Donald Vann called in middle position and Michael Jacobs also came along from the big blind. Jacobs and Dovzhenko checked a flop of {9-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {3-Clubs} , inducing a bet of 45,000 from Vann. Jacobs folded to that bet, but Dovzhenko moved all in. Vann wasted no time in announcing a call.

Vann: {7-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {9-Spades} {j-Hearts}
Dovzhenko: {a-Diamonds} {j-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {2-Clubs}

Vann flopped two pair, nines and eights, and was up against Dovzhenko's nut low draw and straight draw. Neither of those draws filled, but Dovzhenko made a running two pair with the {j-Clubs} turn and {a-Hearts} river to make aces and jacks, better then Vann's jacks and nines. Vann rolled his wheelchair away from the table, collected his payout slip, and was off.
