The Sign Of Four

[user37786]

You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to deduce that it's gonna be a long, long time before Eric Vargo will be able to look at another player's pocket Fours without getting sick. After calling another player's all-in bet Vargo turned over pocket Tens to his opponent's pocket Fours. The board brough no cards that threatened Vargo's hand...until the {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

spiked on the river. The other player's friends went bersek on the rail as Vargo watched as the pot was pushed the other way.

On the very next hand, Vargo moved in his last 16,000 with {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

and was called by a player holding...pocket Fours. And the flop came {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

{4-Clubs}

. Adding insult to injury (as if Vargo could've felt any worse), the turn and river came {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{6-Clubs}

, giving him an utterly meaningless two pair.
