Giant Flop = Giant Pot for Carr-Hill

Joe Carr-Hill traveled all the way from Brighton, England to play in the World Series of Poker, and he knows a little bit of luck is necessary to win one of these.

Carr-Hill open shoved for 55,000 from middle position, and a player to his left re-shoved for 109,000. Another player called, and all the hands were tabled.

Carr-Hill: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Mr. Re-Shove: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Mr. Call: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

The flop was huge: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

"F***** hell!" someone at the table shouted.

The turn and river were the same cards but they weren't queens, rather they were eights. Carr-Hill pulled in the 170,000 chip pot and gave a mini-speech for the surrounding players and spectators.

"They say you need luck to win these tournaments," he told them. "I only needed one seven!"
