A Set-Up Hand for the Ages

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Mike Deis opened for 80,000 under the gun and cleared the field all the way around to Dustin Hargis, who moved all in from the big blind. Deis snap-called off for 700,000 total and the cards were turned up.

Hargis: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Deis: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Both players held big hands, but of course Deis was the monster favorite. The {q-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop delivered Deis top set, which mean Hargis' only hope of winning the hand was to catch a jack. The dealer then burned and turned, you guess it, the {J-Spades}.

The table reacted in disbelief with JC Chen even giving a consolation pat on the back to Deis. It was premature though, as Deis could survive if the board paired on the river, which it did when the {J-Clubs} peeled off.

Again, the table was in disbelief, while Hargis was shell shocked and crippled.
