The Camel that Broke the Aces Back

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Keith “The Camel” Hawkins went all in for his last 20,000 and change with {A-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. He was called by PokerStars player Paul Glaister with {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}. It looked like it was all over for The Camel.

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Runner, runner diamonds on the end to give Hawkins the nut flush and an unlikely win to survive.

“Worst beat so far.” another player felt moved to say, but Hawkins just laughed and gathered in the chips.
