Routos Calls His Shot
James Routos and two other players got it all in preflop. One player turned over 
. The other player turned over 
.
"Set of eights," Routos announced, tabling 
.
Routos' most likely path to victory was actually a flush after the first four cards came 
, leaving the player with ace-king likely to bust both opponents, as he had the most chips. The dealer burned and turned the 
for the river, and Routos' prophecy had been fulfilled.
