"In Pai Gow, You Would Have Won!"

[user25067]

Pascal Perrault -- not a Pai Gow player

THE FIFTY-- On a flop of {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{5-Diamonds}

{3-Spades}

, Sorel Mizzi moved all in and Pascal Perrault called. Both had flopped straights -- Perrault on the low end with the {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{4-Spades}

and Mizzi on the high end with {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

and his tournament life at stake. The turn was the {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

, the river was the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

, and Mizzi doubled through Perrault.

"If this was Pai Gow, you would have won! Wheel is the highest straight!" quipped one of their tablemates. Perrault wasn't amused... or maybe he just doesn't play Pai Gow (you're missing out, by the way).
