I Wish This Was a Cash Game...

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

We heard David "Doc" Sands lamenting the tournament format after a particularly sick hand just went down.

The final board read {8-}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-} by the river, and although Sands was not involved in the hand, he wishes he was.

"I swear to God I had the {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} there," said Sands, staring down at all the chips that might have been his had he seen the flop. "I wish this was a cash game... would've been fun."

The winner of the pot tabled {8-}{8-} for the top full house possible, and if another player had entered, this monster would have actually rated as the third-best hand in a three horse race.

"I folded the {5-}{5-}," said another player at the table. "Boat, quads, straight flush... sick."
