Bicycle Kick
Swedish superstar Zlatan Ibrahimović is known around the world for his exploits on the football pitch (soccer to us Americans), but today his cousin Ibra is making his presence known on the felt.
After entering the day with right around 250,000 in chips, Ibrahimović has surged to the top of the counts in fortuitous fashion.
According to Ibrahimović and his tablemates, three players - including the soccer star's older cousin - took a flop of which featured two clubs. Ibrahimović led out on the flop and another player shoved all in for just a little more than that bet, leaving Ibrahimović committed to the call.
When he flipped up with one club in hand, he appeared to have a strong holding, but the all-in player rolled over for a flopped set of fives. Barring a miraculous runner-runner win, Ibrahimović was looking at loser, but sure enough two clubs peeled off on the turn and river to give him the winning flush.
