SICK HAND

Championship Event

Over at table 60, I entered the action with a flop of [Kd Td 9d] and about 20k sititng in the middle with 4 players holding cards.

The first player to pick up the action had shoved his entire stack and a mid position player was tanking. He eventually made his decision and shoved his money in the middle. Without hesitation the other two players both shipped in their stacks and the dealer asked everyone to turn up their hands.

Position 1 showed Jd 3d
Position 2 showed Th Ts
Position 3 showed 5d 7d
and Andrew Interdonato showed Ad 8d for the flopped nuts.

Yes, you counted right. 9 diamonds in hole cards and an all diamond flop on a full table.

The only hope was for Position 2 to have a board pair, or for position 1 to hit a Qd for a straight flush.

The board ran out Jh 3c to give Interdonato a huge pot of over 150k and the early chip lead.
