Hugh's the Daddy

One Hugh Clyde is getting rather lucky.

He got his chips in with the made flush, holding {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs} on a {7-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {9-Clubs} flop. His opponent was holding {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades} and hit a full house on the {6-Diamonds} turn -- but Clyde hit a one-outer for a straight flush on the {8-Clubs} river.

Then a few hands later, he got it in again, this time behind when the chips went in on the {K-Spades} {2-Hearts} {10-Spades} flop -- his {J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} was well behind his opponent's {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}, but he hit a straight on the {Q-Clubs} turn and {9-Spades} river.

Despite this good luck, he is still on a below-average 5,000.
