"Happens All the Time"

A devastated Roberto Romanello rolled up to the rail, a face redder than a firmly smacked bottom as he reported with a sigh: "Set over set. Top versus middle. On the flop."

As Romanello attempted to regain his composure, I trundled over to the scene of the crime to see the outline of a {Q-Spades}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} board. The prime suspect, {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}, lay before the victor.

Although it will be of scant consolation at the moment, Romanello's explosive start has saved him - he still has 20,000 despite the collision.

"Happens all the time," concluded Romanello with a shake of the head.
