Seeing the Past, Then a Future

On a flop of {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}, Marc Podell got all of 150,000 or so chips in the middle with {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. He was up against Terry Stewart's {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

The turn was the {8-Clubs} -- the case eight. The river was the {6-Diamonds}, and the pair chopped the pot.

"So gross," said Podell afterwards. "I just had my life flash before my eyes!" He still has his 150,000, while Terry Stewart has about 750,000.
