Event 1: Koester Doubles Stack

We found a player being paid for a double-up by the dealer on a board of {3-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{q-}{9-}. Shaun Koester was the recipient of the chips, as he had flopped a wheel with {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. His opponent muttered about giving a gift as the dealer swept up his chips.

"I shoulda taken a picture of that one," he added as the cards were jumbled, erasing all evidence of the hand.
