An Interesting Hand

A hand just developed where three players were all in holding pairs. One was holding {2-Spades} {2-Diamonds} , another was holding {4-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}, and another was holding {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}. The flop came {2-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {4-Spades}, which gave two of the opponents sets. The turn was the {2-Clubs} which gave quads to the holder of the pocket deuces. To make matters worse, the {K-Clubs} fell on the river to give the holder of the pocket kings a full house.

After the hand, another player commented, "Live poker is so rigged. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that."
