The Cards are Nice to Rice

Shawn Rice, who you may remember as a qualifier in the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship a few years back, has shifted gears a bit and is starting to amass a decent stack.

In a recent hand, Rice opened from early position for 5,500 only to have the player to his direct left move all in for 25,700. Action folded back around to Rice and he made the call with {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}, which was racing against his opponent's {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

The cards favored Rice in this match as the board ran out {4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and allowed him to eliminated his foe.
