[user75032]

Derek Raymond was all in after just a few quick pre-flop raises. His opponent was Fabio Coppola, who showed down {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{2-Diamonds}

. Raymond's {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

{6-Clubs}

was in deep trouble.

The flop made a set of aces for Coppola, {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

. The

{4-Hearts}

on the turn gave Raymond the slimmest of hopes... which came in with a miracle {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

river! Raymond got the whole pot by making a straight to the eight and a 7-6 low.

"How ****ing sick is this pot?" Coppola asked incredulously. Raymond seemed happy just to stack his 280,000 chips.
